Analysis on the Regional Features of Coda Attenuation Before and After the 1992 Qina (M_S= 5.4, 5.1) Earthquakes in WYEPSA

Using the theoretical model of coda scattering from local earthquakes, we have studied the features of time-space variations of the attenuation rate β of coda amplitude and coda Qc-1 values before and after the Qina earthquakes (MS5.4 and MS5.1) in Dec. 1992 in West Yunnan Earthquake Prediction Study Area (WYEPSA). The study results show that the attenuation rate of coda amplitude has remarkable regional inhomogeneity in the near-field (△ 【50 km) around the main shock: β = 0.0076 s-1 and Qc-1 = 0.0056 during the main shock while (3 = 0.0209 s-1 and Qc-1 = 0.0153 during the aftershock. The Qc-1 value shows an approximate 3-foid variation before and after the main shock. We have also obtained the regional averages of β = 0.0235 s-1 and Qc-1 = 0.0153, which show that the coda attenuation in surrounding areas (△ 】 50 km) far away from the epicenter of the main shock did not change much before and after the main shock. The evolution of Qc-1 values of the main seismic sequence with time has passed

滇西实验场两次中强地震前后尾波衰减的区域特征分析

本文在地方震尾波散射理论模式的基础上，研究了１９９２年１２月发生在滇西地震预报实验场永胜期纳地区的两次Ｍｓ５．４，５．１地震前后的序列地震尾波振幅衰减率β和尾波Ｑｃ（－１）值随时间和空间变化的衰减特征。结果表明，尾波衰减率在空间分布上表现出明显的小区域范围的非均匀性，在主震震中附近（Δ＜５０ｋｍ）的近场区内，主震期间的β值是０．００７６ｓ（－１），相应的Ｑｃ（－１）值是０．００５６１余震期间的β值是０．０２０９５（－１），相应的Ｑｃ（－１）值是０．０１５３，主震前后Ｑｃ（－１）值的变化接近３倍。而在主震的外围地区（Δ＞５０ｋｍ），主震前的区域β值平均是０．０２３５ｓ（－１），Ｑｃ（－１）是０．０１５３，与余震期间的结果相接近，表明主震前后在外围地区的尾波衰减变化不明显。地震序列的Ｑｃ（－１）值主震前后的变化为上升（起伏变化较大）－下降到最低值（主震发生）－回升（起伏变化小）这样的演变过程，尾波振幅衰减率β和Ｑｃ（－１）所表现出的这种时空变化的非均匀性过程显示了具有明显前兆意义的变化。
