Abstract

The attenuation study of Lg waves is very important in the southeast Korea because the Yangsan fault, believed to be active faults, lied in the industrialized region of the area. By applying the reversed two-station method for the vertical component of the velocity seismogram, we first estimated the Lg attenuation coefficient in this area: $${＼gamma}=(0.009±0.0005)＼;f^{0.06+0.03}$$ between 0.87 and 10 Hz. The ${Q_{Lg}}^{-1}$ values converted from ${＼gamma}$ prove to be higher than those of S-waves, and show the highest values in the world for the high frequency part around 10 Hz. This high attenuation of Lg may be related to a block of Lg propagation near the East Sea and/or an undulately thinning crust of the studied area.

한반도 남동지역에서의 Lg 감쇠 연구는 산업 지역에 놓인 활성단층으로 여겨지는 양산단층의 존재로 매우 중요하다. 두 관측점법에 의한 Lg 감쇠를 해석한 결과, 0.87 - 10 Hz 구간이 $${＼gamma}=(0.009±0.0005)＼;f^{0.06+0.03}$$이다. ${＼gamma}$값에서 변환된 ${Q_{Lg}}^{-1}$값은 동일한 지역에서 측정된 S파의 값보다 매우 높고, 10Hz 가까운 영역에서는 세계에서도 가장 높은 수준이 검출되었다. 이 높은 값은 동해에 의한 Lg 차단 효과이거나, 조사지역의 지각두께 변화와 연관이 된 것으로 보인다.
