Source parameters of the 2007 Noto Hanto earthquake sequence derived from strong motion records at temporary and permanent stations

摘要

A large crustal earthquake, the 2007 Nolo Hanto earthquake, occurred west off the Noto peninsula in Ishikawa prefecture. Japan, oil March 25, 2007. We started temporary strong motion observation Lit live sites within the aftershock area from about 13 h after the main shock occurrence. We first applied file spectral inversion method to S-wave strong ground motion records at the temporary and permanent stations. We obtained source specta of the main shock and aftershocks, Q(s) (quality factor for S-wave) values (Q(s) = 34.5f(0.95)) and site responses at 22 sites. We then estimated a source model of the main shock using the empirical Green's function method. The source model Consists Of three strong motion generation areas and well explains the observed records. Finally, we examined the consistency of the main-shock SOLH-CC models estimated from the above two analyses. The high-frequency level of the acceleration source spectrum based on the main-shock source model is consistent With the source spectrum estimated from the spectral inversion. The combined area of strong motion generation areas is approximately half of the value expected by the empirical relationship, and the high-frequency level of acceleration source spectrum is approximately 2.5 times larger than the empirical relationship for shallow inland and inter-plate earthquakes.
