Abstract:

Based on matched filter technique (MFT) and earthquake relative location technique, a new method is proposed to detect fault structure. The weak matched filter technique (WMFT) is modified from MFT to find more similar earthquakes, which is now used to detected events different from known templates in location. After new events are detected, their locations relative to templates can be given by using time differences from cross correlation. Due to low requirement of the WMFT in wave similarity and its low computational cost, more events can be detected and might help depict the structure of faults clearly. The feasibility of this method is primarily proved by the study of Bohai Bay area using records of 40 days.

Key words: matched filter technique (MFT), fault structure, earthquake location, Bohai Bay, micro seismicity

摘要：

在模板识别和地震相对定位方法的基础上, 提出一种探测断层结构的地震学方法。借用为了发现更多相似地震而在模板识别方法基础上提出的弱模板识别方法, 探测与模板地震有空间位置差异的地震, 然后根据波形互相关得到的到时差确定新识别出的地震相对于模板地震的空间分布。由于该方法对相似度要求较低, 且因计算量小而可以扫描更长时间的地震记录, 所以可以探测到更多能够比较精准地刻画断层细结构的微地震。利用渤海湾地区40天的地震波数据, 初步证明了这一方法的可行性。
