Abstract

One-dimensional shear wave velocity structure of North Korea is constrained using short (2-sec) to long period (30-sec) Rayleigh waves generated from four seismic events in China. Rayleigh waves are well recorded at the five broadband seismic stations (BRD, SNU, CHNB, YKB, KSA) which are located near to the border between North and South Korea. Group velocities of fundamental-mode Rayleigh waves are estimated with the Multiple Filter Analysis and refined by using the Phase Matched Filter. Average group velocity dispersion curve ranging from 2.9 to 3.2 km/s, is inverted to constrain the shear wave velocity structures. Relatively low group velocity dispersion curves along the path between the events to BRD at period from 4 to 6 seconds may correspond to the sedimentary sequence of the West Korea Bay Basin (WKBB) in the Yellow Sea. The low velocity zone in deep layers (14-20 km) may be related to the deep sedimentary structure in Pyongnam basin. The fast shear wave velocity structure from the surface to the depth of 14 km is consistent with the existence of metamorphic rocks and igneous bodies in Nangrim massif and Pyongnam basin.

중국 지역 4개 지진에서 발생한 2~30초 범위의 레일리파를 이용하여 북한 지역의 1차원 전단파 속도구조를 구하였다. 레일리파는 남북한의 국경선 인근에 위치한 5개의 광대역 관측소(BRD, SNU, CHNB, YKB, KSA)에 양호하게 기록되었다. 다중필터분석를 이용하여 레일리파 기본모드 군속도가 계산되었고 이는 다시 위상부합필터를 적용하여 개선되었다. 2.9~3.2 km/s의 범위에 이르는 평균 분산곡선을 역산하여 전단파 속도를 구하였다. 지진원으로부터 BRD 관측소의 경로에서 추출된 4~6초 주기의 상대적으로 느린 군속도는 서해 서한만분지의 퇴적층군과 연관되었을 가능성이 있다. 14~20km의 상대적으로 깊은 지역 전단파 저속도층은 평남분지와 관련된 것으로 생각되며 낭림육괴와 평남분지에 분포하는 변성암 및 화강암체는 표면부터 14km 깊이의 빠른 전단파 속도와 일치한다.
