JHD를 이용한 경상분지 일원에서 발생한 지진의 진원위치 재결정 (II)

Relocation of Hypocenters, occurred in and around Kyeongsang basin, using by Joint Hypocenter Determination(JHD) method

Crustal velocity model is very important to determine the hypocenters of the local earthquakes, because the real crust is more complex and heterogeneous than simple homogeneous layered model. But the exact crust model in and around Kyeongsang basin area is not fixed till now. To solve this problem, Joint Hypocenter Determination(JHD) method is applied to the 151 local earthquakes, that is recorded at KIGAM local network from Mar. 25, 1999 to Dec. 16, 2001. According to the comparison of earthquake locations and depths for the conventional procedure and JHD relocation procedure, each locations is very similar, but depth distributions are different. An initial depth distribution derived from the conventional methods is irregular and does not show the general trends. JHD relocations reduce scatter and define a dipping plane.
