We conducted microtremor array survey in Oita plain and Beppu area, Kyusyu, Japan, to estimate subsurface S-wave velocity structure. Each observation is comprised of six equilataral arrays, with aparture of 20 to 1000 meters. Velocity seismometers with natural period of 10 sec. are deployed connected with 24bit A/D, GPS time-calibrated data loggers to obtain night-long data. Each continuous data are segmented to hourly data sets, and are analyzed with SPAC method, V method (Tada et al,2007) and CCA method (Cho et al. 2006) to estimate phase velocity using BIDO 2.0 software (Tada et al, 2010, http://staff.aist.go.jp/ikuo-chou). We successfully obtained phase velocities in the frequency about 0.2 to 5 Hz.
1D S-wave velocity structure for each observation site is estimated using GA algorism to fit observed phase velocity data.
