Based on the scattering theory of coda waves for local earthquakes suggested by Aki,K and Chouet and using the foreshock and aftershock data for the M S5 8 Zhongdian earthquake on July 17,1993,space-time variation in β and Q C -1 values of coda wave amplitude attenuation rates before and after the earthquake is studied.
Study on seismicity annual index has found prominent seismicity anomalies in 1994 in Yunnar which not only included conventional seismological items, such as frequency, energy, b value, modulation ratio for small earthquake and response ratio, but also involved seismic wave velocity, continuous the ratio of code wave, amplitude ratio and high shear stress value.
Short period digital seismic data of Lanzhou seismic station in Chinese Digital Seismic Network (CDSN) are used to measured the changed with time for ratio r 1 (maximum amplitade of code wave with S wave) and the square root of ratio r 2 (coda energy with S energy).
Calculating by different calibration functions and formulas of magnitude -time duration of code wave, we find that the magnitude difference is up to 0 5-0 7.Based on comprehensive analysis, we think that the magnitude of the earthquake occurred in Neixiang, Henan Province on April 29, 2000 should be M L5 0 .
The seismic wave attenuation was measured from the time decay of coda wave amplitudes on narrow bandpass filtered seismograms based on the single scattering theory.
In this paper, the "spectral amplitude ratio method" (SAR), "energy method" (EN) and "coda wave method" (CW) are used to calculate theQ value variations of gneiss in the preparing rupture process.
Analysis of digital seismograms recorded by the Yinchuan Telemetric Seismic Network, Ningxia, shows that not only the coda wave Q-value of shocks is strongly dependent on frequency but also its dependence on sampling depth cannot be neglected.
The dynamic characteristics studied include the ratio of peak amplitudes in S and P waves (S/P) and the ratio of the S-wave maximum to the coda level in the range t = 400 ± 5 s, where t is the lapse time (S/c400) for 1.25 Hz.
The seismic wave attenuation was measured from the time decay of coda wave amplitudes on narrow bandpass filtered seismograms based on the single scattering theory.
The site effect of coda waves for four types of basement under 6 stations was studied by using the local earthquakes from digital seismograph network of West Yunnan Experimental Site.
Based on the single scattering model of seismic coda waves, we have calculated theQ-factor in Beijing and its surrounding regions by means of calculating the power density spectrum in frequency domain with a fixed time window.
