The structure of low-frequency seismic noise in the range of periods from 2 min to 500 min is studied from the data of continuous seismic monitoring at 77 seismic stations of the F-net broadband network in Japan from the beginning of 1997 to May 15, 2012. A new statistical characteristic of seismic noise is suggested, namely, the minimal normalized entropy En of the distribution of squared orthogonal wavelet coefficients. This parameter of seismic noise is analyzed in conjunction with the multifractal statistics—the support width of the singularity spectrum, Δα, and the generalized Hurst exponent, α*, which were extensively used by the author in the previous works for analyzing the low-frequency seismic noise. The method for constructing the maps of spatial distribution of Δα, α*, En, and their aggregated normalized value over the time windows with a given length is proposed. The maps are constructed by averaging the succession of the elementary charts, each of which corresponds to a day of observations. It is shown that, for the islands of Japan, the reduction in Δα and α* and the increase in En outline the area of the forthcoming mega earthquake of March 11, 2011, with M = 9 (Tohoku earthquake). According to the analysis of about a year’s worth of data after this event, the region south of Tokyo (Nankai trough) is still dominated by decreased Δα and α* and increased En. This gives grounds to hypothesize that this region remains at a high level of seismic threat since the accumulated stresses were incompletely released by the Tohoku earthquake. Drawing an analogy to the behavior of the coefficient of correlation between Δα and α*, we may suppose that there is an increased probability of a strong earthquake occurring in the second half of 2013 or the first half of 2014. Constructing the averaged maps of the distributions of seismic noise parameters and their aggregated value in a moving time window is suggested as a new method for dynamical assessment of seismic hazards.  相似文献

Fumarole thermal monitoring is a useful tool in the evaluation of volcanic activity, since temperatures strongly relate to the upward flux of magmatic volatiles. Once depurated from meteorological noise, their variations can reflect permeability changes due to crustal stress dynamics eventually associated to seismic activity. In this work, we discuss a fumarole temperature record acquired in the period September 2009–May 2012 at Vulcano island (Italy), during which changes of volcanic state, local seismic activity and teleseisms occurred. Apart from positive thermal anomalies driven by increments in volcanic activity, we observed 3 episodes at least of concurrence between tectonic earthquakes and fumarole temperature increments, with particular reference to the local August 16th, 2010 Lipari earthquake, the March 11th, 2011 Sendai–Honshu (Japan) earthquake and a seismic swarm occurred along the Tindari-Letojanni fault in July–August 2011. We interpreted the seismic-related anomalies as “crustal fluid transients”, i.e. signals of volcanogenic vapour flow variations induced by stress-induced permeability changes. From this perspective fumarolic activity can be considered as a tracer of geodynamic instability but, since seismic and volcanic phenomena are in mutual cause-effect relationships, a multidisciplinary observation system is mandatory for correctly addressing thermal data interpretation.  相似文献

The low-frequency seismic noise recorded by the broadband IRIS stations in 1994–2012 is studied in the period range of 40 to 360 s. It is shown that for samples of a few months in length, the power spectra of noise at stations spaced apart a few thousand kilometers and operating in different meteorological and seismotectonic conditions are overall similar, which indicates that the sources of the noise are global. At the same time, the slope of the spectra changes with the increase in the period in the subintervals of 40–90, 120–200, and 200–360 s, which points to the difference of the sources generating the seismic noise. The amplitude of the noise at the stations located a few thousand km apart from the Sumatra earthquake of December 26, 2004, M = 9.2, and from the Tohoku earthquake of March 11, 2011, M = 9.0, increased after these events. This indicates the global character of the aftermath of these seismic catastrophes. After the Kronotskoe earthquake of December 5, 1997, which was weaker (M = 7.9), the noise grew only at the PET station located within 300 km of the epicenter. According to the records at the PET station, this earthquake was preceded by the increased noise level observed in 1994–1997. After 1999, the seismic noise declined and remained low up to the end of the studied interval with a duration of 14 years. Our results show that the low-frequency seismic noise generated by the sources in the atmosphere of the Earth is contributed by the processes taking place in the lithosphere.  相似文献

A statistical analysis is made for the eastern part of Turkey in the beginning of 2009 by studying the phenomenon of seismic quiescence as a potential precursor of the main shocks. The results produced four areas having seismic quiescence in the beginning of 2009. These areas are observed to be centered at 39.96°N–40.69°E (around A?kale, Erzurum), 39.36°N–39.74°E (around Ovac?k, Tunceli), 39.02°N–40.52°E (including Elaz?? and Bingöl), and 38.45°N–42.94°E (Van Lake). Based on the recent results showing 5 ± 1.5 years quiescence before the occurrence of an earthquake in this region, the future earthquake would be expected between 2009.5 and 2010.5. The future earthquake occurrence may reach 2012 if we consider the standard deviation of average seismic quiescence as ±1.5 years. We have found that the M W = 6.0 Elaz?? earthquake on 8 March 2010, followed a seismic quiescence starting about 5 years before the main shock. Thus, special interest should be given to the other regions where the seismic quiescence is observed.  相似文献

An intelligent system for monitoring anomalous seismic processes intended for predicting the beginning of an earthquake by standard ground-based stations is presented. The problem is solved by analyzing the seismoacoustic signals coming from deep layers of the Earth. The signals are detected by acoustic sensors placed at the mouths of deep suspended wells.  相似文献

The propriety of adopting a multi-degree-of-freedom lumped mass–spring–dampers system driven by white noise support excitation as a one-dimensional model for a soil-layer–bedrock system during an earthquake is investigated by means of statistical system identification of the model with noisy measurement of the earthquake ground velocity. The present discussion also suggests that this model may not be applicable to all observed earthquake records, since the model itself depends on the statistical nature of the earthquake motion. For appropriate earthquake records, the system identification procedure may be accomplished; then dynamical properties of the soil-layer and the power spectral density for white noise excitation acting upon the bedrock can be estimated as shown in a numerical example.  相似文献

This paper describes a method for calculating the station corrections to earthquake energy class and the acoustic impedance based on records of earthquake codas in the 0.8–1.8 Hz frequency band. The calculation is based on measurements of the relative coda level at two stations, with one of the two being used as the reference. The data were recorded by digital seismometers: CMG-3TB (GURALP), CMG-5TD (GURALP), CMG-6TD (GURALP), and GMS-AC-73i HHV (GeoSIG). We present estimates of class corrections for the Kamchatka network of seismic stations.  相似文献

发生于1969年的渤海Ms7.4地震是渤海海域惟一一个主震被现代仪器记录的大地震,对其发震断层的讨论争议颇多.2005~2008年,我们在主震震区进行了3个航次的高分辨率声学探测,获得了包括浅层单道地震、侧扫声纳以及CHIRP剖面等在内的数百公里综合地球物理观测资料.本文报道了对上述声学资料的研究结果.研究表明,在震区海底之下2~3 m发现了一条走向NE30°、长20 km、宽约3 km的微型凹陷带,地质时代为5000 a B.P.,沉积面的最大下凹幅度为1.5 m;在空间位置上微型凹陷带与BZ28断裂、余震活动分布基本一致,因此,微型凹陷带是BZ28断裂活动的结果,而A层底界的下凹变形则是1969年渤海7.4级地震活动的结果, BZ28断裂是该地震的发震断层.BZ28断裂呈NE30°走向,是郯庐断裂带的次级断裂,浅层地震剖面揭示其最新活动时间为全新世中晚期,根据地质时代以及断层的垂向位移量,计算得到BZ28断裂晚更新世以来的垂向活动速率约为0.05 mm/a,全新世为0.3 mm/a,具有活动强度增加的趋势.  相似文献

Seismic records of eight IRIS broadband stations were analyzed at distances of 70 to 7160 km from the magnitude 8.3 Hokkaido earthquake of September 25, 2003. The stations situated in the subduction zone recorded asymmetrical microseismic pulses lasting 3–10 min a few days before the earthquake. No such pulses were observed in the records of the stations situated outside the subduction zone. Similar pulses were also recorded before the magnitude 7.8 Kronotskii, Kamchatka earthquake of 1997. The pulses are hypothesized to have been caused by creeping movements. Synchronous oscillations of microseismic noise with periods of 1–3 h were recorded as far as 3000 km from the Hokkaido earthquake a few days before it occurred. The noise coherence measure increased for stations closer to the epicenter. The question of the source of this coherence remains open. These effects belong to the class of those occurring in dissipative metastable systems; parts of the terrestrial lithosphere during the precursory periods of seismic catastrophes seem to be such systems.  相似文献

On October 27, 2004, a moderate size earthquake occurred in the Vrancea seismogenic region (Romania). The Vrancea seismic zone is an area of concentrated seismicity at intermediate depths beneath the bending area of the southeastern Carpathians. The 2004 M w?=?6 Vrancea subcrustal earthquake is the largest seismic event recorded in Romania since the 1990 earthquakes. With a maximum macroseismic intensity of VII Medvedev–Sponheuer–Kárník (MSK-64) scale, the seismic event was felt to a distance of 600 km from the epicentre. This earthquake caused no serious damage and human injuries. The main purpose of this paper is to present the macroseismic map of the earthquake based on the MSK-64 intensity scale. After the evaluation of the macroseismic effects of this earthquake, an intensity dataset has been obtained for 475 sites in the Romanian territory. Also, the maximum horizontal accelerations recorded in the area by the K2 network are compared to the intensity values.  相似文献

A recent evaluation of the seismic activity in and around Iraq (Fahmi et al., 1986) has revealed the existence of a so-called seismic gap (referred to as the “Takab”) or earthquake quiet zone off the northeastern frontier of Iraq. The observed area is bounded by latitudes 36–37° N and longitudes 46–48° E. Despite the historical documentation of a destructive energy release near the town of Saqqez, followed by a large aftershock, in the year 1135 AD (Ambraseys and Melville, 1982), the immediate gap area has nevertheless not experienced the occurrence of a major (Ms>7.5 earthquake since the beginning of the present century. Using the apparently successful “seismic grid method” of Bapat and Kulkarni (1984), the spatial and temporal distribution of instrumentally located epicentess (plus the few historical event locations) is analyzed in the magnitude range 4.0<Ms<7.5 over the period 1903–1986. From this statistical technique and other physically based deterministic evaluations, it is concluded that a major (Ms>7.7) earthquake is anticipated to occur in the vicinity of the town Tf Takab within the next five years, i.e, between 1989 and 1994. This predicted event, which will probably have a similar rupture mechanism to the existing Sareskand (high-angle thrust) fault, should have a shallow focus thereby causing probable large-scale damage and destruction to Takab and its surroundings.  相似文献

The dynamics of seismic noise before the catastrophic earthquake of March 11, 2011 in Japan is studied in a minute period range using the records of broadband IRIS stations. It is found that the dispersion of the noise and the number of asymmetric pulses recorded within 500 km from the epicenter of the earthquake have drastically increased 1.5 months before the event. This is the highest enhancement ever recorded by these stations during the same interval of the year for the past 15 years since the IRIS network started stably operating. No increase is revealed in the noise recorded beyond 1200 km from the epicenter. The pattern of decay in amplitudes of the anomalous noise with increasing distance from the epicenter to the corresponding stations likely indicates that the sources of the noise were located close to the source of the earthquake. The noise contains both regular and chaotic components.  相似文献

In highly populated urban centers, traditional seismic survey sources can no longer be properly applied due to restrictions in modern civilian life styles. The ambient vibration noise, including both microseisms and microtremor, though are generally weak but available anywhere and anytime, can be an ideal supplementary source for conducting seismic surveys for engineering seismology and earthquake engineering. This is fundamentally supported by advanced digital signal processing techniques for effectively extracting the useful information out from the noise. Thus, it can be essentially regarded as a passive seismic method. In this paper we first make a brief survey of the ambient vibration noise, followed by a quick summary of digital signal processing for passive seismic surveys. Then the applications of ambient noise in engineering seismology and earthquake engineering for urban settings are illustrated with examples from Beijing metropolitan area. For engineering seismology the example is the assessment of site effect in a large area via microtremor observations. For earthquake engineering the example is for structural characterization of a typical reinforced concrete high-rise building using background vibration noise. By showing these examples we argue that the ambient noise can be treated as a new source that is economical, practical, and particularly valuable to engineering seismology and earthquake engineering projects for seismic hazard mitigation in urban areas.  相似文献

首都圈数字地震台网对微弱爆破信号的检测能力   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3       下载免费PDF全文
利用首都圈数字地震台网接收人工地震信号,进行地下结构研究具有重要意义.但人工震源释放的能量小,激发的地震波以短周期为主,因此本文较全面地研究了地震台网对短周期微弱信号(1~20 Hz)的检测能力:(1) 分析了台网的背景噪声,结果表明基岩台址的地震台噪声比沉积盖层台址的地震台噪声低约13 dB,这相当于近1个震级的检测阈值;夜间的噪声比白天低约5 dB;噪声有逐年增高的趋势,2006年比2001年噪声提高约4 dB.(2 )分析了在台网内进行的药量为25 kg的陆地井下爆破实验,一次爆破相当于0.69级(ML)的天然地震,有18个地震台可辨认爆炸产生的Pg、Pm或Pc波;离爆破点218 km的基岩台,仍可以接收到振幅只有1.6 nm 的Pm波,这个结果可为地震勘探实际工作提供参考.(3) 研究了台网外核爆试验的信号特征,2006年发生在朝鲜的地下核试验是一次检验台网检测微弱信号能力的好机会.波形记录经1~5Hz滤波后,台网中噪声小的18个基岩台可以清晰辨认核爆破产生的P波或Lg波,P波平均振幅为16 nm,计算的平均震级为mb4.3,和NEIC给出的震级相同;分析还表明背景噪声是影响台站信号检测能力的主要因素之一.  相似文献

青藏高原地震活动特征及当前地震活动形势   总被引:53,自引:27,他引:26       下载免费PDF全文
青藏高原是我国现代构造活动和地震活动最强烈的地区,自有地震记录以来,在高原内记录到多达18次8级以上巨大地震和100余次7~7.9级地震,它们均发生在喜马拉雅板块边界构造带和板内断块区及其次级断块的边界活动构造带上.自1900年有地震仪器记录以来,青藏高原曾经历了3次地震活动丛集高潮,即1920-1937年,1947-1976年和1995-现在.在每次地震活动丛集期都形成以8级地震为核心的7级以上地震活动系列,它们分别是20世纪20-30年代的海原-古浪地震系列、50-70年代察隅-当雄地震系列和20世纪末期以来昆仑-汶川地震系列.每一个地震系列都有自己的主体活动区,最新的昆仑-汶川地震系列的主体活动区为巴颜喀喇断块.青藏高原地震活动高潮与全球Mw≥8.0巨大地震活动高潮紧密相关,昆仑-汶川地震系列与自2001年至今的全球最新地震活动高潮相对应,它们反映了两者的动力学联系.经过详细对比研究认为,它们至今均仍在延续之中,全球板块边界构造带8~9级地震和板内大陆断块区的7~8级地震都仍在连续发生.研究了全球和区域地震活动的相关关系及青藏高原地震活动的时空分布特征,指出了该区当前地震活动的总体形势,评价了其近期地震危险性,提出了加强地震监测的建议.  相似文献
