[SSS25-09] S波ピーク領域と距離別の速度を使って解析した2011東北沖地震の多重震源の解析
キーワード:S波ピーク, 2011東北沖地震
1, Introduction
Within the field of research on the 2011 Tohoku earthquakes, analyses of the vicinity of the ocean trench axis have made remarkable progress. In contrast, opinion is divided regarding regions closer to land. One example concerns the question of whether tremors that reached the Kanto region originated from the ocean trench axis. Many studies emphasize land-based seismic origins for these tremors, but the precise locations from which these tremors originated remains to be determined in detail. Considering that this earthquake was a ones-in-several-hundred-years event, it can hardly be said that our understanding of the earthquake as a whole has progressed to a fully satisfactory state.
The S-wave and P-wave data available for this earthquake are mixed together and hence difficult to use. Multiple large-amplitude contributions following S-wave initial shocks, S-wave peaks, were present. These data may be used for analyses, despite their mixed nature, if they can be well separated. Due to the paucity of previous research on this subject, we have tested our methods on other large earthquakes in Japan. Method is indicated to 3-1-2 Results of validation.
2, Method
2-1 We determined epicenters by following the Omori method of drawing three circles on map.
2-2 We use Omori’s formula. (However, we use distant-dependent velocities.)
r=k×t k1=(Vp×Vs)/(Vp-Vs)
2-3 We used S-wave peak travel times and velocities. The method is indicated to 3-1-2.
3, Results
3.1 Validation.

Travel time is peak time at many stations. (2)r=1/2×a×t^2 (3)r=1/2 √(kt^3 )
(4) r=1/2×v×t (5)k=v×a k=4r^2/t^3 (6)v=2r/t v=dr/dt (7) a=2r/t^2 a=dv/dt
It is sufficiently possible to calculate in this equation (2), but coefficient ″a″ is not constant. Therefore, I prepare the equation (3). The equations (2) and (3) are function that the distance and time of the hypocenter and observation point. In those equations, the function (5), which is in inverse proportion to ″v″ and ″a″, is contained.

P5 (May be divided into 5 epicenters in all)
In the first phase, P1-2 and P1-3 gave a strong motion to Miyagi and Iwate. In the third phase, Max acceleration of Tsukidate and Oshika was observed by P3. It is both epicenter third phase and trench axis that gave a strong motion to Kanto.
