The focus parameters and their correlation from small earthquakes before and after the 1995 Douhe earthquake

Based on seismic source spectrum solution by multi-station and multi-event coda method, applying Brune seismic source model, we have got the source factors and spectra of 48 small earthquakes occurred before and after the Douhe earthquake of October 6 in 1995. The seismic moments, corner frequencies and stress drops are estimated from the Spectra, and their corrclation and variation with time before and after the Douhe ear-thquake are discussed. The results indicate that the source factors show good stability, their peak frequencies and variation with frequencyappear quite similar. Some events with higher stress drops occurred about one year before the Douhe ertquake.Taking into the account that the Stress drop is calculated from seismic moment and frequency, as well as the correlation betwen them, we emphasis that the higher stress drop mentioned here just implies the higher corner frequency than the normal value.
