The three-dimensional (3-D) P-wave attenuation (Qp ) structure beneath Kanto, Japan, is estimated by using a large number of waveform data. Corner frequencies of earthquakes are initially calculated from spectral ratios of S-coda waves, followed by an inversion to simultaneously determine attenuation terms and frequency-dependent site amplification factors. The attenuation terms are then invert...
