Abstract

In this study, coda Q has been determined by the single scattering model in the Kyeongsang Basin region using the decay of the amplitudes of coda waves on bandpass-filtered seismograms of local microearthquakes in the frequency range 1.5~18 Hz. Reported frequency dependence of Q is of the form $Q_C=Q_O ^n$$(83.9{ll}Q_0{ll}155.9,;0.76{ll}n{ll}1.05$. Considering a model incorporating both scattering and intrinsic attenuation, and assuming that the attenuation is entirely due to the scattering loss, the minimum mean free paths are about 51~56 km and the coefficients of inelastic attenuation(${\gamma}$) are between 0.0093 and 0.0098 were found. Earthquake-station paths pass through the fault zone show high attenuation and strong frequency dependency compared to other ones.

이 연구에서는 단일 산란이론을 이용하여 경상분지에서 얻어진 국소 미소지진의 자료를 1.5-1.8Hz 사이의 주파수 영역에서 몇 개의 구간으로 나누어 대역 통과 필터링을 g여 coda 파의 진폭 감쇠로부터 Q값을 결정하였다 Coda Q 값은 Qc=Q0 fn 형태의 주파수 의존 양상을 보여주며 Q0 값은 83.9-155.9 n 값은 0.76에서 1.05 사이로 나타났다 산란 감쇠와 고유감쇠를 고려하여 감쇠가 순전히 산란에 의해서만 일어난다고 가정했을 때 최소 평균 자유경로를 51.-56km 이고 비탄성 감쇠계수는 0.0093-0.0098 로 나타났다 진앙과 관측소간의 경로가 단층지역을 지나는 것이 다른 경로를 지나오는 것보다 높은 감쇠와 강한 주파수 의존성을 보여준다.
