Propagational Corrections for Basin Structure : Landers Earthquake
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transfer functions appropriate for correcting for propagational distortion caused by basin structures (2D) given a hard-rock (1D) response are developed. The transfer functions are generated theoretically using a hybrid method where the finite-difference technique is employed only in the basin. This allows for efficient computation and the ability to separate path contributions due to body waves and surface waves. The procedure is used to explain some strong motions observed in the Los Angeles basin relative to the hard-rock site Pasadena during the 1992 Landers earthquake.

Title: Radiated Energy and State of Stress during Earthquake Rupture
We determined the energy release in earthquakes using the data obtained from TriNet in southern California. We investigated the effects of the depth, the mechanism and the propagation path by examining the results for events with different mechanisms and depths. We found that the path and site effects dominate so much that these effects are not obvious. By far the most dominant is the path-site...
متن کاملFinite - Difference Modeling of Two Aftershocks of the 1994
Recent evidence for nonlinear behavior of strong motions generated by the Northridge, California, earthquake relies explicitly on the analysis of aftershock data. Thus, correcting these observations for propagational and source effects becomes a crucial step in these studies. Here, we demonstrate that the dipping structure near the edges of the San Fernando Valley can strongly alter the local s...
متن کاملDetermination of Earthquake Energy Release and M L Using Terrascope
We estimated the energy radiated by earthquakes in southern California using on-scale very broadband recordings from TERRAscope. The method we used involves time integration of the squared ground-motion velocity and empirical determination of the distance attenuation function and the station corrections. The time integral is typically taken over a duration of 2 min after the P-wave arrival. The...
متن کاملBasin Structure Estimation by Waveform Modeling: Forward and Inverse Methods
We introduce a technique for using broadband seismograms recorded from earthquakes at local and regional distances to refine basin structure. For the region outside the basin, we assume a one-dimensional (1D) crustal model and analytical techniques (GRT) to propagate the energy from sources to the basin edge where the motions are then interfaced with a (2D) finite-difference algorithm (Wen and ...
متن کاملThe 1992 Landers Earthquake Sequence: Earthquake Occurrence and Structural Heterogeneities
The June 28, 1992, Mw 7.3 Landers earthquake occurred in the southeastern Mojave Desert, California. Over 10,000 aftershocks of the earthquake were recorded by the Caltech-USGS Southern California Seismic Network (SCSN) in 1992. To investigate the relationship between complexities in the crustal structure and variations in seismicity, we have used a tomographic method to invert 145,098 P wave a...
