Lapse time and frequency-dependent attenuation characteristics of coda waves in the Northwestern Himalayas 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We analyzed the local earthquakes waveform recorded on a broadband seismic network in the northwestern Himalayan Region to
compute lapse time and frequency dependence of coda Q (Q
c). The observed Q
c values increase with increasing lapse time at all frequency bands. The increase in Q
c values with lapse time is attributed to an increase in Q
c with depth. This implies that attenuation decreases with increasing depth. The approximate radius of medium contributing
to coda generation varies from 55 to 130 km. By comparing the Q
c values with those from other regions of the world, we find that they are similar to those obtained from tectonically active
regions. The estimated Q
c values show a frequency-dependent relationship, Q
c = Q
0
f
n
, where Q
0 is Q
c at 1 Hz and n represents degree of frequency dependence. They represent the level of heterogeneity and tectonic activity in an area. Our
results show that northwest Himalayas are highly heterogeneous and tectonically very active. Q
0 increases from 113 ± 7 to 243 ± 10 and n decreases from 1.01 ± 0.05 to 0.85 ± 0.03 when lapse time increases from 30 to 70 s. As larger time window sees the effect
of deeper part of the Earth, it is concluded that Q
0 increases and n decreases with increasing depth; i.e., heterogeneity decreases with depth in the study area. 相似文献

Coda Q Estimates in the Koyna Region, India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
—The coda Q, Q c ?, have been estimated for the Koyna region of India. The coda waves of 76 seismograms from thirteen local earthquakes, recorded digitally in the region during July–August, 1996, have been analyzed for this purpose at nine central frequencies viz., 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 12.0, 16.0 and 24.0 Hz using a single backscattering model. All events with magnitude less than 3 fall in the epicentral distances less than 60 km and have focal depths which range from 0.86 to 9.43 km. For the 30 sec coda window length the estimated Q c values vary from 81 to 261 at 1.5 Hz and 2088 to 3234 at 24 Hz, whereas the mean values of Q c with the standard error vary from 148 ± 13.5 at 1.5 Hz to 2703 ± 38.8 at 24 Hz. Both the estimated Q c values and their mean values exhibit the clear dependence on frequency in the region and a frequency dependence average attenuation relationship, Q c = 96f 1.09, has been obtained for the region, covering an approximate area of 11500 km2 with the surfacial extent of about 120 km and depth of 60 km.¶Lapse time dependence of Q c has also been studied for the region, with the coda waves analyzed at five lapse time windows from 20 to 60 sec duration with the difference of 10 sec. The frequency dependence average Q c relationships obtained at these window lengths Q c = 66f 1.16 (20 sec), Q c = 96f 1.09 (30 sec), Q c =131f 1.04 (40 sec), Q c = 148f 1.04 (50 sec), Q c = 182f 1.02 (60 sec) show that the frequency dependence (exponentn) remains mostly stationary at all the lapse time window lengths, while the change in Q 0 value is significant. Lapse time dependence of Q c in the region is also interpreted as the function of depth. 相似文献

Small local earthquakes from two aftershock sequences in Porto dos Gaúchos, Amazon craton—Brazil, were used to estimate the
coda wave attenuation in the frequency band of 1 to 24 Hz. The time-domain coda-decay method of a single backscattering model
is employed to estimate frequency dependence of the quality factor (Q
c) of coda waves modeled using Qc = Q0 fhQ_{\rm c} =Q_{\rm 0} f^\eta , where Q
0 is the coda quality factor at frequency of 1 Hz and η is the frequency parameter. We also used the independent frequency model approach (Morozov, Geophys J Int, 175:239–252, 2008), based in the temporal attenuation coefficient, χ(f) instead of Q(f), given by the equation
c(f)=g+\fracpfQe \chi (f)\!=\!\gamma \!+\!\frac{\pi f}{Q_{\rm e} }, for the calculation of the geometrical attenuation (γ) and effective attenuation (Qe-1 )(Q_{\rm e}^{-1} ). Q
c values have been computed at central frequencies (and band) of 1.5 (1–2), 3.0 (2–4), 6.0 (4–8), 9.0 (6–12), 12 (8–16), and
18 (12–24) Hz for five different datasets selected according to the geotectonic environment as well as the ability to sample
shallow or deeper structures, particularly the sediments of the Parecis basin and the crystalline basement of the Amazon craton.
For the Parecis basin Qc = (98±12)f(1.14±0.08)Q_{\rm c} =(98\pm 12)f^{(1.14\pm 0.08)}, for the surrounding shield Qc = (167±46)f(1.03±0.04)Q_{\rm c} =(167\pm 46)f^{(1.03\pm 0.04)}, and for the whole region of Porto dos Gaúchos Qc = (99±19)f(1.17±0.02)Q_{\rm c} =(99\pm 19)f^{(1.17\pm 0.02)}. Using the independent frequency model, we found: for the cratonic zone, γ = 0.014 s − 1, Qe-1 = 0.0001Q_{\rm e}^{-1} =0.0001, ν ≈ 1.12; for the basin zone with sediments of ~500 m, γ = 0.031 s − 1, Qe-1 = 0.0003Q_{\rm e}^{-1} =0.0003, ν ≈ 1.27; and for the Parecis basin with sediments of ~1,000 m, γ = 0.047 s − 1, Qe-1 = 0.0005Q_{\rm e}^{-1} =0.0005, ν ≈ 1.42. Analysis of the attenuation factor (Q
c) for different values of the geometrical spreading parameter (ν) indicated that an increase of ν generally causes an increase in Q
c, both in the basin as well as in the craton. But the differences in the attenuation between different geological environments
are maintained for different models of geometrical spreading. It was shown that the energy of coda waves is attenuated more
strongly in the sediments, Qc = (78±23)f(1.17±0.14)Q_{\rm c} =(78\pm 23)f^{(1.17\pm 0.14)} (in the deepest part of the basin), than in the basement, Qc = (167±46)f(1.03±0.04)Q_{\rm c} =(167\pm 46)f^{(1.03\pm 0.04)} (in the craton). Thus, the coda wave analysis can contribute to studies of geological structures in the upper crust, as the
average coda quality factor is dependent on the thickness of sedimentary layer. 相似文献

In the light of the single scattering model of coda originating from local earthquakes, and based on the aftershock coda registered
respectively at the 4 short period stations installed near the foci shortly after theM7.6 Lancang andM7.2 Gengma earthquakes, this paper has tentatively calculated the rate of amplitude attenuation and theQ
c-value of the coda in the Lancang and Gengma areas using a newly-founded synthetic determination method. Result of the study
shows the rate of coda amplitude attenuation demonstrates remarkable regional differences respectively in the southern and
northern areas. The southern area presents a faster attenuation (Q
c=114), whereas the northern area shows a slower attenuation (Q
c=231). The paper also discusses the reasons causing such differences. Result of the study also suggests a fairly good linear
relation between the coda source factorA
o(f) and the seismic moment and the magnitude. Using the earthquake scaling law, the following formulas can be derived: lgM
0=lgA
0(f)+17.6,M
D=0.67lgA
0(f)+1.21 and logM
0=1.5M
D+15.79. In addition, the rates of amplitude attenuationβ
s andβ
m are respectively calculated using the single scattering and multiple scattering models, and the ratioβ
s/βm=1.20−1.50 is found for the results respectively from the two models. Finally, the mean free pathL of the S-wave scattering in the southern and northern areas are determined to be 54 km and 122 km respectively by the relations
which can distinguish between the inherentQ
i and scatteringQ
s, testify to this areas having lowQ-values correspond to stronger scatterings.

The local earthquake waveforms recorded on broadband seismograph network of Institute of Seismological Research in Gujarat,
India have been analyzed to understand the attenuation of high frequency (2–25 Hz) P and S waves in the region. The frequency
dependent relationships for quality factors for P (Q
P) and S (Q
S) waves have been obtained using the spectral ratio method for three regions namely, Kachchh, Saurashtra and Mainland Gujarat.
The earthquakes recorded at nine stations of Kachchh, five stations of Saurashtra and one station in mainland Gujarat have
been used for this analysis. The estimated relations for average Q
P and Q
S are: Q
P = (105 ± 2) f
0.82 ± 0.01, Q
S = (74 ± 2) f
1.06 ± 0.01 for Kachchh region; Q
P = (148 ± 2) f
0.92 ± 0.01, Q
S = (149 ± 14) f
1.43 ± 0.05 for Saurashtra region and Q
P = (163 ± 7) f
0.77 ± 0.03, Q
S = (118 ± 34) f
0.65 ± 0.14 for mainland Gujarat region. The low Q (<200) and high exponent of f (>0.5) as obtained from present analysis indicate the predominant seismic activities in the region. The lowest Q values obtained for the Kachchh region implies that the area is relatively more attenuative and heterogeneous than other
two regions. A comparison between Q
S estimated in this study and coda Q (Qc) previously reported by others for Kachchh region shows that Q
C > Q
S for the frequency range of interest showing the enrichment of coda waves and the importance of scattering attenuation to
the attenuation of S waves in the Kachchh region infested with faults and fractures. The Q
S/Q
P ratio is found to be less than 1 for Kachchh and Mainland Gujarat regions and close to unity for Saurashtra region. This
reflects the difference in the geological composition of rocks in the regions. The frequency dependent relations developed
in this study could be used for the estimation of earthquake source parameters as well as for simulating the strong earthquake
ground motions in the region. 相似文献

Attenuation of Coda Waves at the Changbaishan Tianchi Volcanic Area in Northeast China 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
21 earthquakes recorded by a temporary seismic network in the Changbaishan Tianchi volcanic area in Northeast China operated
during the summer of 2002 and 2003 were analyzed to estimate the S coda attenuation. The attenuation quality factor Qc was estimated using the single scattering attenuation model of Sato (1977) in the frequency band from 4 to 24 Hz. All the
events studied in this paper occurred at depths from 2 to 6 km with ML of 1.4–2.8. The epicentral distances are less than
25 km. For all events which occurred near the Tianchi Lake (caldera), the Qc patterns obtained at the stations near the lake are similar, and the Qc values are relatively small. At the stations located about 15 km east of the Tianchi Lake, however, the average Qc is significantly higher. For an event which occurred 25km from the lake to the west, Qc patterns derived at the stations near the lake are quite similar to the above mentioned Qc for stations located in the east. Further study shows that Qc value in the north and central areas of the volcano is relatively lower than that in the surrounding area. Compared to other
volcanic areas in the world, the average Qc of the Changbaishan Tianchi volcanic area is obviously lower. The deep seismic sounding and teleseismic receiver function
studies indicated more than one lower velocity layer in the crust. The MT studies suggested the presence of high conductive
bodies beneath the area. We interpret the strong attenuation of coda waves near the Changbaishan Tianchi volcano as being
possibly related to high temperature medium caused by shallow magma chambers. 相似文献

The attenuation of coda waves is analysed for nine seismic stations in the area of convergent motion of the Adriatic microplate
and the Dinarides. The frequency dependent coda quality factor of the form Qc = Q0 fn is estimated for up to seven central frequencies (1.5, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 Hz) and for 21 successive 30 s long time windows.
Q0 was found to increase from 68–353 for short lapse times of 20–50 s, to 158–373 for lapse times of 90–100 s. Parameter n is
observed to vary between 0.46 and 0.89, with a pronounced tendency to decrease with increasing Q0, and vice versa. Both Q0 and n seem to stabilize for lapse times larger than 50–80 s, indicating that a change in rock properties controlling coda
attenuation occurs at depths of about 100–160 km. The spatial distribution of observed Q0 is well correlated with observed seismicity and inferred tectonic activity. In particular, we observe significant negative
correlation of Q0 with the peak ground acceleration (PGA) estimate for the return period of 475 years. The degree of frequency dependence n,
is the smallest for stations on the islands, where the crust is the thinnest. The largest n is observed over the thickest
crust in the region, where the Moho lies at depths of over 55 km. 相似文献

Estimation of Coda Wave Attenuation for the National Capital Region, Delhi, India Using Local Earthquakes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Attenuation of seismic waves is very essential for the study of earthquake source parameters and also for ground-motion simulations,
and this is important for the seismic hazard estimation of a region. The digital data acquired by 16 short-period seismic
stations of the Delhi Telemetric Network for 55 earthquakes of magnitude 1.5 to 4.2, which occurred within an epicentral distance
of 100 km in an area around Delhi, have been used to estimate the coda attenuation Qc. Using the Single Backscattering Model, the seismograms have been analyzed at 10 central frequencies. The frequency dependence
average attenuation relationship Qc = 142f 1.04 has been attained. Four Lapse-Time windows from 20 to 50 seconds duration with a difference of 10 seconds have been analyzed
to study the lapse time dependence of Qc. The Qc values show that frequency dependence (exponent n) remains similar at all the lapse time window lengths. While the change
in Q0 values is significant, change in Q0 with larger lapsetime reflects the rate of homogeneity at the depth. The variation of Qc indicates a definitive trend from west to east in accordance with the geology of the region. 相似文献

Body-wave Attenuation in the Region of Garda, Italy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We analyzed the spectral amplitude decay with hypocentral distance of P and S waves generated by 76 small magnitude earthquakes (ML 0.9–3.8) located in the Garda region, Central-Eastern Alps, Italy. These events were recorded by 18 stations with velocity
sensors, in a distance range between 8 and 120 km. We calculated nonparametric attenuation functions (NAF) and estimated the
quality factor Q of both body waves at 17 different frequencies between 2 and 25 Hz. Assuming a homogeneous model we found that the Q frequency dependence of P and S can be approximated with the functions Q
P
= 65 f
0.9
and Q
S
= 160 f
0.6
, respectively. At 2 Hz the Q
S
/Q
P
ratio reaches the highest value of 2.8. At higher frequencies Q
S
/Q
P
varies between 0.7 and 1.7, suggesting that for this frequency band scattering may be an important attenuation mechanism
in the region of Garda. To explore the variation of Q in depth, we estimated Q at short (r ≤ 30 km) and intermediate (35–90 km) distance paths. We found that in the shallow crust P waves attenuate more than S (1.3 < Q
S
/Q
P
< 2.5). Moreover, P waves traveling along paths in the lower crust (depths approximately greater than 30 km) attenuate more than S waves. To quantify the observed variability of Q in depth we considered a three-layer model and inverted the NAF to estimate Q in each layer. We found that in the crust Q increases with depth. However, in the upper mantle (~40–50 km depth) Q decreases and in particular the high frequency Q
S
(f > 9 Hz) has values similar to those estimated for the shallow layer of the crust. 相似文献

The single scattering model has been applied for the estimation of codaQ values for local earthquakes that occurred in northern Greece during the period 1983–1989 and recorded by the telemetered network of the Geophysical Laboratory of the University of Thessaloniki. CodaQ estimations were made for four frequency bands centered at 1.5 Hz, 3.0 Hz, 6.0 Hz and 12.0 Hz and for the lapse time windows 10–20 sec, 15–30 sec, 20–45 sec, 30–60 sec and 50–100 sec. The codaQ values obtained show a clear frequency dependence of the formQ

, whileQ
0 andn depend on the lapse time window.Q
0 was found equal to 33 andn equal to 1.01 for the time window of 10 to 20 sec, while for the other windowsQ
0 increased from 60 to 129, withn being stable, close to 0.75. This lapse time dependence is interpreted as due to a depth dependent attenuation. The high attenuation and the strong frequency dependence found are characteristic of an area with high seismicity, in agreement with studies in other seismic regions. 相似文献

The intrinsic dissipation and scattering attenuation in southwestern (SW) Anatolia, which is a tectonically active region,
is studied using the coda waves. First the coda quality factor (Qc) assuming single scattering is estimated from the slope of the coda-wave amplitude decay. Then the Multiple Lapse Time Window
(MLTW) analysis is performed with a uniform earth model. Three non-overlapping temporal data windows are used to calculate
the scattered seismic energy densities against the source-receiver distances, which, in turn, are used to calculate separate
estimates of the intrinsic and scattering factors. In order to explore the frequency dependency, the observed seismograms
are band pass-filtered at the center frequencies of 0.75, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 and 12.0. The scattering attenuation (Qs−1) is found lower than the intrinsic attenuation (Qi−1) at all frequencies except at 0.75 Hz where the opposite is observed. Overall the intrinsic attenuation dominates over the
scattering attenuation in the SW Anatolia region. The integrated energy curves obtained for the first energy window (i.e.,
0–15 s) are somewhat irregular with distance while the second (i.e., 15–30 s) and third (i.e., 30–45 s) data windows exhibit
more regular change with distance at most frequencies. The seismic albedo B0 is determined as 0.61 at 0.75 Hz and 0.34 at 12.0 Hz while the total attenuation factor denoted by Le−1 changes in the range 0.034–0.017. For the source-station range 20–180 km considered the scattering attenuation is found strongly
frequency dependent given by the power law Qs−1 = 0.010*f−1.508. The same relations for Qi−1, Qt−1 (total), Qc−1 and
(expected) hold as Qi−1 = 0.0090*f−1.17, Qt−1 = 0.019*f−1.31, Qc−1 = 0.008*f−0.84 and
respectively. Compared to the other attenuation factors Qc−1 and
are less dependent on the frequency. 相似文献

values are very close to scattering attenuation for short lapse times, (10–20 sec), and intermediate between scattering and intrinsic attenuation for the longer lapse times, (50–100 sec).

Based on the single scattering model of seismic coda waves, we have calculated theQ-factor in Beijing and its surrounding regions by means of calculating the power density spectrum in frequency domain with
a fixed time window. The digital seismic data of 69 earthquakes from Beijing Telemetered Seismographic Network are used. These
earthquakes were recorded from January 1, 1989 to December 31, 1990 at 20 stations. This paper shows the variations of the
codaQ-factors in the studied region with different sites, frequency and lapse time, and the temporal change of the codaQ-factors in these two years. The results indicate that codaQ-factor depends strongly on the lapse time and frequency. It is assumed that whenQ

0 are 48, 115 and 217; and the average values ofη are 0. 89, 0.91 and 0.74, respectively.

The seismic quality factor (Q
c) and the attenuation coefficient (δ) in the earth’s crust in southwest (SW) Anatolia are estimated by using the coda wave method based on the decrease of coda
wave amplitude by time on the seismogram. The quality factor Q
o, the value of Q
c at 1 Hz, and its frequency dependency η are determined from this method depending on the attenuation properties of scattered coda waves. δ is determined from the observations of amplitude variations of seismic waves. In applying the coda wave method, firstly,
a type curve representing the average pattern of the individual coda decay curves for 0.75, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 12.0, and 24.0 Hz
values was estimated. Secondly, lateral variation of coda Q and the attenuation coefficients for three main tectonic patterns
are estimated. The shape of the type curve is controlled by the scattering and attenuation in the crustal volume sampled by
the coda waves. The Q
o and η values vary from 30 to 180 and from 0.55 to 1.25, respectively for SW Anatolia. In SW Anatolia, coda Q–f relation is described by and δ = 0.008 km−1. These results are expected to help in understanding the degree of tectonic complexity of the crust in SW Anatolia. 相似文献

It shows that in the eastern Sino-Korean paraplatform, the average crustalQ
β
is about 200, and that there exists a weak attenuation layer in the middle crust (about 10–20 km deep) which is possibly
related to earthquake-prone layer. A strong attenuation layer (lowQ) of 70 km thick extensively exists in the uppermost mantle, with the buried depth about 80 km. The averageQ
R
of fundamental mode Rayleigh wave is between the value of stable tectonic region and that of active tectonic region, and
much close to the latter.

The attenuation property of Andaman Island has been investigated analyzing coda waves from 57 local earthquakes in the magnitude range of 2.0–4.9, using the single backscattering model. These earthquakes waveforms, recorded on five broadband seismographs sited over the island from north to south during Nov. 2003 to March 2004, have been used to calculate the frequency dependent Coda Q (Q c ) applying the time domain coda-decay method. The Coda Q, computed at central frequencies from (0.5–12) Hz and five-lapse time windows from 40 to 80 s, progressively increases from 105 f 0.88 in the north Andaman to 135 f 0.79 in the south Andaman with an average of 119 f 0.80. The average Q c values vary from 75 ± 42 at 0.5 Hz to 697 ± 54 at 12 Hz central frequency for 40 s lapse time window, while for 80 s lapse time window its variation is from 117 ± 38 at 0.5 Hz to 1256 ± 115 at 12 Hz. The Q c estimated at different lapse times manifests a significant variation from 122f 0.75 to 174f 0.73, corresponding to lapse time window lengths of 40 and 80 s, respectively. The variation of Q c with frequency, lapse time and also with the location of seismograph reflects the marked structural and compositional inhomogeneity with depth along the Andaman Islands. These observations are well correlated with the seismicity pattern and distinct high angle subduction beneath the island. 相似文献

There is a high possibility of reoccurrence of the Tonankai and Nankai earthquakes along the Nankai Trough in Japan. It is
very important to predict the long-period ground motions from the next Tonankai and Nankai earthquakes with moment magnitudes
of 8.1 and 8.4, respectively, to mitigate their disastrous effects. In this study, long-period (>2.5 s) ground motions were
predicted using an earthquake scenario proposed by the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion in Japan. The calculations
were performed using a fourth-order finite difference method with a variable spacing staggered-grid in the frequency range
0.05–0.4 Hz. The attenuation characteristics (Q) in the finite difference simulations were assumed to be proportional to frequency (f) and S-wave velocity (V
s) represented by Q = f · V
s / 2. Such optimum attenuation characteristic for the sedimentary layers in the Osaka basin was obtained empirically by comparing
the observed motions during the actual M5.5 event with the modeling results. We used the velocity structure model of the Osaka
basin consisting of three sedimentary layers on bedrock. The characteristics of the predicted long-period ground motions from
the next Tonankai and Nankai earthquakes depend significantly on the complex thickness distribution of the sediments inside
the basin. The duration of the predicted long-period ground motions in the city of Osaka is more than 4 min, and the largest
peak ground velocities (PGVs) exceed 80 cm/s. The predominant period is 5 to 6 s. These preliminary results indicate the possibility
of earthquake damage because of future subduction earthquakes in large-scale constructions such as tall buildings, long-span
bridges, and oil storage tanks in the Osaka area. 相似文献

The mechanisms contributing to the attenuation of earthquake ground motion in the distance range of 10 to 200 km are studied with the aid of laboratory data, coda wavesRg attenuation, strong motion attenuation measurements in the northeast United States and Canada, and theoretical models. The frequency range 1–10 Hz has been studied. The relative contributions to attenuation of anelasticity of crustal rocks (constantQ), fluid flow and scattering are evaluated. Scattering is found to be strong with an albedoB
0=0.8–0.9 and a scattering extinction length of 17–32 km. The albedo is defined as the ratio of the total extinction length to the scattering extinction length. TheRg results indicate thatQ increases with depth in the upper kilometer or two of the crust, at least in New England. CodaQ appears to be equivalent to intrinsic (anelastic)Q and indicates that thisQ increases with frequency asQ=Q

The characteristic of seismic coda wave attenuation in Yunnan area in 7 frequency-bands range from 1 Hz to 20 Hz was estimated by using the local earthquake's waveform data recorded from 22 Yunnan digital seismic stations.Coda attenuation Q-c1 of each station was firstly calculated by single scattering method. Then, mean free path Le and seismic albedo Bo of each station were calculated, and scattering attenuation Q-1s and intrinsic attenuation Q-1i were separated from total attenuation Q-1t by multiple lapse time window analysis based on the multiple scattering model in uniform random isotropic scattering medium. The attenuating characteristics in Yunnan show that most value of Le are in 10~30 km, with maximal within 2~6 Hz;Bo are about 0.5 at 1~2 Hz, but less than 0.5at other frequency-bands, which means Q-1i is comparable with Q-1s at 1~2 Hz, and after 1~2 Hz, Q-1i is greater than Q-1s and dominates the attenuation process. Q-1c is close to Q-1i at other frequency bands except 1~2 Hz.Results show that Q-1 especially Qs-1 varies spatially, Q-1 in eastern Yunnan zone is a bit higher than in northwestern Yunnan zone;northwestern Yunnan zone higher than southwestern Yunnan zone. Comparing with other results in global, Qs-1 in Yunnan is lower than the global average value among these results, Q-1i is higher than the global average value, and Q-1t lies the middle among these results. 相似文献
