Abstract

From 329 earthquake data in the Korean Peninsula, we separated the intrinsic and scattering quality factor ($Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$) using the Multiple Lapse Time Window Analysis (MLTW) method. For the homogeneous velocity structure, $Q_i^{-1}$ reduces the amplitudes of both direct and coda waves; $Q_s^{-1}$ diminishes the direct wave amplitude but enlarges the coda wave amplitude. Based on this phenomenon, MLTW method analytically derives theoretical curves and obtains $Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$ by least square fit with observation curves. This study is the first approach for the seismic stable region by MLTW method, and show that $Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$ in the Korean Peninsula are very low at lower than frequencies of 5 Hz. This low value seems to be related to the inactive tectonism of the Korean Peninsula.

한반도의 329개 지진자료에 대하여 S파 감쇠상수의 고유치 분리를 Multiple Lapse Time Window Method(MLTW)법으로 수행하였다. 균일한 속도구조에서 고유감쇠 $Q_i^{-1}$ 값은 S파 직접파와 코다파의 진폭을 감쇠시키고, 산란감 쇠 $Q_s^{-1}$ 값은 S파 직접파는 감쇠시키는 반면 코다파는 증폭시킨다. MLTW법은 해석적인 방법으로 이론곡선을 구하여 관 측값과 최소제곱오차를 이루는 고유 및 산란감쇠를 구하는 방법이다. 지금까지 한반도와 같은 지진 안정지대에서의 MLTW 법 적용연구는 행하여진 바 없는데, MLTW법에 의한 한반도의 $Q_i^{-1}$$Q_s^{-1}$ 값은 5 Hz 이하에서 매우 낮은 값이 도출되어 이는 한반도와 같은 지진 안정지대의 값을 반영하는 것으로 풀이된다.
