Abstract

Orientation corrections for Korean seismic stations were calculated by using ambient noise cross-correlation. This method uses Rayleigh waves extracted from ambient noise cross-correlation instead of teleseismic waveforms from earthquakes, which have been generally used for previous studies. The theoretical background of the method is that the phase of radial-vertical cross-correlation function should be the same as that of $90^{\circ}$ phase-shifted vertical-vertical cross-correlation function. The results calculated from stacked cross-correlograms from Jan. 2007 to Sep. 2008 are comparable to the previous results obtained from teleseismic waveforms. In addition, overall the standard deviations of orientation corrections are less than $5^{\circ}$. The temporal variation in orientation corrections calculated for every 30 days shows no significant change and also standard deviations of them are mostly less than $5^{\circ}$. This means that the orientations of stations used in this study have been kept constant during the period. The sensitivity test for stacking period of the ambient noise cross-correlation method shows that continuous ambient noise record of at least about 30 days is required for estimating reliable orientation corrections.

배경잡음 교차상관을 이용하여 국내에 설치된 지표 및 시추공 관측소 지진계의 방위각 보정값을 계산하였다. 이 방법은 원거리 지진자료를 사용하던 기존 연구들과는 달리 배경잡음 자료를 이용하며, 수직-수직성분 배경잡음 교차상관 함수를 $90^{\circ}$ 위상변화시키면 수직-방사성분 교차상관함수의 위상과 일치하게 된다는 특성을 이용한다. 2007년 1월부터 2008년 9월까지의 연속 자료를 중합하여 계산한 결과는 원거리 지진자료를 이용하여 계산된 이전 연구결과와 매우 유사하며, 계산 결과의 표준편차도 대부분 $5^{\circ}$ 이하로 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 한편, 자료를 30일씩 중합하여 계산한 결과 역시 표준편차가 $5^{\circ}$ 이하로 낮게 계산되며, 시간에 따른 방위각 보정값의 변화가 거의 없는 것으로 미루어 2007년 1월부터 2008년 9월 사이 기간에는 전체 관측소의 지진계 방위각이 크게 바뀌지 않은 것으로 보인다. 배경잡음 교차상관 분석 방법의 중합기간에 대한 민감도를 분석한 결과, 국내 지진관측소에 대한 신뢰할 수 있는 방위각 보정값을 얻는데 필요한 배경잡음 연속 기록의 최소 기간은 30일 정도로 추정된다.
