Use of Waveform Cross Correlation to Reconstruct the Aftershock Sequence of the August 14, 2016, Sakhalin Earthquake

详细

The waveform cross correlation technique is used to detect signals from aftershocks of the ML = 6.1, August 14, 2016, Sakhalin earthquake using regional seismic network data. Regular P- and S-wave phase arrivals are associated with seismic sources; the resulting cross correlation bulletin is compared with a standard seismic bulletin for the same aftershock sequence. An advantage of the cross correlation bulletin is that it has more detected seismic events tied to three or more stations and a lower catalog completeness threshold; even the epicenters of the weakest aftershocks are located with greater accuracy. The exact aftershock locations tend to cluster along a narrow zone related to the Central Sakhalin Fault.
