邯郸-邢台地区尾波衰减特征研究

利用红山数字地震台和邯郸数字台网记录到的2001年3月~2006年7月近震波形资料,采用Aki的尾波单次散射模型计算了邯郸—邢台地区不同尾波窗长的Qc值,窗长为20s时该区域的平均值为Qc=78f0.92,40s时Qc=144f0.88。在研究范围内呈现出北高南低的态势。     

唐山地区尾波Qc值研究

利用首都圈地震数字台网资料,计算了唐山地区不同尾波窗长的Qc值。尾波窗长为15~30s时,Qc(f)=53f1.1;尾波窗长为30~60s时,Qc(f)=256f0.8;尾波窗长为60~90s时,Qc(f)=304f0.72;尾波窗长为90~120s时,Qc(f)=2400.68。可以看出,同一地点的Q0值随尾波窗长的增加而增大,但尾波窗长为90~120s时,Q0反而减小。     

High frequency S wave envelope synthesis using a multiple nonisotropic scattering model: application to aftershocks from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake

Based on the formulation of a multiple non-isotropic scattering process, a characteristic source time is introduced to define the initial impulse width of energy density at the source. An analytical expression of the initial intensity spectral density of a seismic wave is incorporated into the integral equation of seismic wave energy density. And, a recursive formula of Green’s function is derived to obtain the higher order Green’s function, which is included to describe the stronger non-isotropic scattering process. Then, the effect of the scattering pattern on the energy density envelope is investigated by the modified scattering theory. Significant differences are found in the decay of the energy density envelopes with distances using different scattering patterns. The envelope synthesized by the forward dominated scattering pattern is larger than the results obtained by the isotropic and backward dominated scattering pattern. Different scattering patterns are also used to fit the observation data from the aftershocks of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. It is concluded that the envelopes synthesized by the forward scattering pattern can match the data better than the isotropic and backward dominated scattering cases, and a new interpretation of the coda wave is given. Finally, using the forward dominated scattering pattern, the envelope broadening of the observed data is reproduced.     

华北地区Lg尾波衰减研究--Lg尾波Q的测量

利用1989～1998年间发生在中国华北地区ML≥3.0级的地震事件,华北遥测台网以及数字化台网记录到的信噪比较高的Lg尾波时间序列,经过滤波、消除背景噪声等预处理,采用单台记录叠加频谱比法,得到传播路径上Lg尾波Q0（Q=Q0fη, Q0是1Hz的Q值,η是Q值与频率相关系数）,进而获得该地区Q0和η的空间分布. 测量结果表明,华北地区地壳Lg尾波Q0值分布存在显著的横向不均匀性,这种不均匀性与该地区地壳的速度分布基本一致,表现为与该地区地表地质特征明显的一致性,即传播路径位于太行山隆起和燕山隆起区为高Q0值分布;传播路径位于冀中坳陷和黄骅坳陷等平原区表现为低Q0值;传播路径位于隆起区和坳陷区二者之间,其Q0值也介于二者之间,说明华北地区的地壳结构没有很大的阶跃式变化而使波导遭到破坏,Lg尾波Q0值基本上反映了地壳内介质滞弹性的固有衰减.     

华北地区Lg尾波衰减研究--Lg尾波Q0地震成像

利用单台记录叠加频谱比法测量出的华北地区560余条单台传播路径上平均Lg尾波Q0值数据（Q0是1Hz的Q值）,采用随机褶积模型和奇异值分解法,重建该地区地壳中Q0的横向变化.结果表明,华北地区地壳中Lg尾波Q0值分布具有显著的横向不均匀性,这种不均匀性与地质构造明显相关,块隆区具有较高的Q0值,例如,燕山造山带、太行山块隆、鲁西隆起;华北平原区表现为低Q0值分布,例如冀中坳陷、黄骅坳陷、济阳坳陷,二者界限分明.结合研究区内的大地热值分布研究表明,低Q0值区大都处于高热流区,这可能是地壳内热物质的活动有关.虽然华北地区Lg尾波Q0值高、低分区明显,但是,从总体上应该属于低Q0值异常区,也就是说,该区的地壳是高地震波衰减区,这可能是该地区受太平洋板块和欧亚板块的相互作用而使地壳减薄,热物质上升造成的结果.     

Characteristics of coda Q -value in the midnorthern part of Ningxia

On the basis of previous studies, this paper, in studying the coda Q-value of near shocks, has proposed using the sampling depth to describe the effect of lapse time on the Q-value, and has investigated the dependence of coda wave of earthquakes on frequency and sampling depth. Analysis of digital seismograms recorded by the Yinchuan Telemetric Seismic Network, Ningxia, shows that not only the coda wave Q-value of shocks is strongly dependent on frequency but also its dependence on sampling depth cannot be neglected. In the commonly used formula that describes the dependence characteristics of coda Q-value of earthquakes, Q = Q0 f n, the parameter Q0 rises obviously while n drops when the sampling depth increases, and their changes can be fitted by linear relations. This paper has explained such a characteristic. Whether this characteristic exists universally needs to be verified by more study results because the genetic mechanism of coda wave of earthquakes is more complex.     

Intrinsic absorption and scattering attenuation in the southern part of the Netherlands

We present the first systematic study of attenuation derived from the S-wave coda in the frequency range 1-32 Hz for the southern part of the Netherlands and its surroundings. For this we used two methods, the codaQ (Q _c) method and the Multiple Lapse Time Window (MLTW) method. In the interpretation of the results both single and multiple scattering in a half space are considered. Our aim is to validate these interpretations in our region and to try to identify theeffects of attenuation due to intrinsic absoprtion (Q _i)and scattering attenuation (Q _s). For this we analyzedmore than 100 3-component high-quality digital seismograms from 43 crustalevents and 23 different stations in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.Coda Q results show smaller Q _c (=Q ₀fⁿ) values for epicentral distances shorter than 25 km (Q ₀=90) compared to larger epicentral distances (Q ₀=190), but similar frequency dependence (f^-0.9). Interpretation of MLTW results provided a seismic albedo smaller then 0.5, suggesting that the intrinsic absorption dominates over scattering in this region. Both Q _i and Q _s show similar frequency dependences as Q _c. These results are comparable to those obtained in other areas, but we also show that more sophisticated models are required to remove ambiguities in the interpretation. For short lapse times and shortevent-station distances we find for the simple half space model a correspondinginterpretation of both methodologies, where Q _c correspondsto Q _t, suggesting that a model with single scattering in ahalf space is appropriate. For long lapse times and long event station distances, however, we find that the S-wave coda is, most probably, too much influenced by crust-mantel heterogenities and more sophisticated Qinversion models using larger data sets are required for more reliable attenuation estimates.
