Tripathi Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of Allahabad, India Email: priyam028@yahoo.com ABSTRACT Seismic wave propagating through the earth experiences some reduction in the energy content. This decay in the wave energy is known as the seismic wave attenuation. The study of attenuation characteristics of these waves shed light on the heterogeneous nature of the Earth. Usually, seismic wave attenuation for local earthquakes is determined from the analysis of coda waves. Digital seismogram data of 75 earthquakes that occurred in Garhwal Himalaya region during 2004 to 2006 and recorded at different stations have been analyzed to study the seismic coda wave attenuation characteristic in this region. In the present study, 90 seismic observations from local earthquake events with hypocentral distance less than 250 km and magnitude range between 1.0 and 5.0 is used to study coda Q , i.e. Qc , using the single isotropic scattering model. QC Values are estimated at 10 central frequencies 1.5, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 Hz using a starting lapse-time LT=50 s and four coda window-lengths , WL= 10, 20, 30, 40 s . In the considered frequency range, QC fit the frequency dependent power-law QC = Q0 f n . The frequency dependent power-law for 50 sec lapse time with 10 sec coda window length is QC = 61.8 f 0.992 and for 50 sec lapse time with 40 sec coda window length is QC = 161.1 f 0.998 . The Q0 ( QC at 1 Hz) estimates vary from about 61.8 for a 50 sec lapse time and 10 sec window length, to about 161.1 for a 50 sec lapse time and 40 sec window length combination. The exponent of the frequency dependence law n ranges from 1.016 to 0.967, which correlates well with the values obtained in other seismically and tectonically active and heterogeneous regions of the world. It is observed for the study region that QC values increases both with respect to window length and frequency. The low QC values or high attenuation at lower frequencies and high QC values 279

Keywords: Attenuation, Coda Q, Single backscattering model, Lapse time window, Garhwal Himalaya I. INTRODUCTION The attenuation of seismic wave is one of the basic physical parameter which is closely related to the seismicity and regional tectonic activity of a particular area. This is also important for seismic hazard measurement. In this work, the seismic attenuation in the Garhwal Himalayas is studied using local earthquakes. The amplitude of seismic waves decreases with increasing distance from the earthquake. This reduction of the energy content cannot be explained by geometrical spreading of the wave only. This decay in the wave energy is known as the seismic wave attenuation. Seismic wave attenuate because the earth is not a perfect elastic and homogeneous. Usually, seismic wave attenuation for local earthquakes is determined from the analysis of direct body waves, surface waves or coda waves. The dimensionless parameter, Q , is studied in the present work which is defined as a measure of the rate of decay of the coda waves within a specified frequency band. Aki (1969) referred Coda as the tail part of seismograms of local earthquakes. Aki and Chouet (1975) suggested that the S Coda of local earthquakes is superposition of incoherent backscattered S-wave and surface waves generated from numerous heterogeneity distributed randomly in the Earth’s crust and upper mantle. The great variety of paths traveled by these waves provides information concerning the average attenuation properties of the medium instead of just the characteristics of a particular path (Aki and Chouet 1975). The QC , quality factor of Coda wave has been estimated for different parts of the world (Aki and Chouet 1975; Sato 1977; Ugalde et al., 2002; Tripathi and Ugalde, 2004, Ugalde et al., 2007, Pezzo et al., 2011,). Coda wave characteristics have also been estimated for different parts of the Himalayas (Gupta et al., 1995; Kumar et al., 2005; Hazarika et al., 2009; Sharma et al., 2009; Mukhopadhyaya et al., 2010; Padhy et al., 2010; Tripathi et al., 2012). In the present work the coda attenuation properties have been estimated in the Garhwal region of Himalayas using local earthquakes. The frequency dependence of coda wave is also estimated. II. STUDY AREA The Himalayas is the consequence of the collision of the Indian plate with the plates of central Asia during mid to late Eocene. The Outer Himalayas, Lower Himalayas and the Higher Himalayas are the three major terrains identified in the Garhwal Himalayas [Valdiya, (1980)]. 280

The outer Himalayas comprises of Tertiary rocks that is underlain by the marine water to brackish origin subathu formation. This is followed upward by siwalik group. The siwalik group is overlain by Quaternary gravel and sand. The Lower Himalayas are mainly made up of Precambrian sedimentary rocks with some outcrops of Cambrian Tal formation. The Higher Himalayas are made up of high grade metamorphic rocks like amphibolites to granulites grade metasedimentary rocks, auger gneisses and intrusive leucogranite. In the Garhwal-Kumaon Himalayas region these groups of rocks are known as the vaikrita group (Srivastav and Mitra 1994) Figure 1: (a) Simplified map of the Himalya.

METHOD AND DATA The single backscattering model of coda wave envelopes of Aki and Chouet (1975) considers the coincidence of source and receiver. So, for the practical application of the model, we have to consider lapse time t >2 t s , where t s is the S wave travel time (Rautian and Khalturin, 1978). Sato (1977) proposed the single isotropic scattering model for non coincident source and receiver. Thus, we can analyse the coda window just after the S wave arrival. In this model, it is assumed that the elastic energy is radiated spherically, scatterers are distributed homogeneously and randomly, and the single scattering is isotropic in the media. Thus, the coda energy density E S at frequency f can be expressed as W ( f ) g 0 ( f ) ES ( f | r , t ) = 0 4πr 2 [ −1 K (α ) exp − 2QC πft ] (1) Where t is the lapse time measured from the origin time of the earthquake, t s is the S-wave travel time, r is the hypocentral distance, W0 is the total energy radiated from the source, g 0 is the total scattering coefficient, and 1 α +1 K (α ) = ln , (α > 1); and α = t / t s . (2) α α −1 The energy density is considered to be proportional to the mean square amplitudes of coda waves and taking natural logarithms of Eq.1 and reshuffling the terms, we get A ( f | r, t ) πf ln obs = ln C ( f ) − Q t (3) k (r , α ) C where Aobs ( f | r , t ) represents the observed root mean square (rms) amplitude of the narrow band pass filtered waveforms with central frequency f ; k(r , α ) = (1 / r )K (α ) 0.5 and C ( f ) is a constant. Thus the QC can be easily obtained from the slope b of the least square fit straight line to the measured ln[ Aobs ( f | r , t ) / k (r , α )] versus t for a given central frequency, using the relation n QC = πf / b . The frequency dependence law, QC = Q0 f is also fitted to the QC data for different lapse time and window length, where Q0 is the value of QC at 1 Hz and n is frequency dependent parameter (Table 3). The digital waveform seismograms of 75 events used for coda attenuation in the present study were recorded at 20 stations of Garhwal Himalayas during 2004 to 2006 (Figure 2, Table 1). The CMG 40T1 triaxial broadband seismometers were used for the digital data collection. The data is 282

SEISAN (version 8.1) software package (Havskov and ottemoller, 2005) was used to pick P and S wave arrival times of each earthquake recorded at the different seismic stations. The hypocentral parameters, viz, origin time, latitude, longitude and focal depth of these events were also computed using the SEISAN software. Most of the events are within the crust and local magnitude ranges from 1.0 to 5.0. First of all we preformed a visual inspection of more than 450 seismograms, 90 waveforms with hypocentral distances less than 250 km have been finally processed for the present work. IV. DATA ANALYSIS AND RESULTS First of all the seismograms were band pass filtered for ten frequency bands, 1.5 ± 0.5 Hz, 3 ± 1 Hz, 5 ± 1 Hz, 7 ± 1 Hz, 9 ± 1 Hz, 12 ± 1 Hz, 16 ± 1 Hz, 20 ± 2 Hz, 24 ± 2 Hz, and 28 ± 2 Hz (Table 2), using eight-pole Butterworth filters. As the sampling rate was 100 samples per second, the maximum frequency for which reliable result could be obtained was 50 Hz. Then, the root mean squared amplitudes of the filtered seismograms were computed at an interval of 0.5 s with moving time windows of length t ± 2s for the first frequency band and t ± 1s for the next nine frequency bands. Then QC was estimated applying a least square regression technique to Eq.3 for one starting lapse time window length LT = 50 s from the S-wave onset, having Window Length WL=10, 20, 30 and 40s for ln[ Aobs ( f | r , t ) / k (r , α )] . The QC estimates were computed only for the amplitudes greater than signal to noise ratios. The coda wave is analyzed only the vertical component, because it has been shown that the coda analysis is independent of the component of the particle ground motion analyzed (Hoshiba, 1993). The estimated QC values retained for further analysis which were having correlation coefficients greater than 0.5.

It is observed that the QC increases with frequency. The average value of QC for the study region varies from 121 at 1.5 Hz to 1790 at 28 Hz for lapse time 50s and window length 10s. When window length is 20, QC is 179 at 1.5Hz and 2611 at 28Hz. Higher values of QC are obtained at 30 and 40s window lengths. This observation of frequency dependence of QC is due to the degree of heterogeneity of a medium and level of tectonic activity in an area (Aki 1980). The low QC values or high attenuation at lower frequencies may indicate a high degree of heterogeneity and decrease in rock strength at shallow parts. The high QC values or low attenuation at higher frequencies may be related to the comparatively less hetrogeneous deeper zones (Aki and Chouet, 1975). Gupta et al. (1995) obtained a frequency relation QC = 126 f 0.95 using records of seven micro earthquake in the adjoining southwestern part of Garhwali Himalayas for 30s coda window length. Kumar et al., (2005) employed the time domain coda - decay method of a single - back – scattering model to calculate frequency dependent values of coda QC . A total of 36 local earthquake of magnitude range 2.4 - 4.8 have been used for QC estimation at central frequencies 1.5, 3.6, 6.9, 9.0, 12.0 and 18.0 Hz through eight lapse time windows from 25 to 60s starting at double the time of the primary S-wave from the origin time. The estimated average frequency dependence quality factor gives the relation QC = 158 f 1.05 while the average QC values vary from the relation 210 at 1.5Hz to 2861 at 18Hz central frequencies. The observed coda quality factor is strongly dependent on frequency, which indicate that the region is Seismic and tectonically active with high heterogeneity. Paul et.al., (2003) estimated QC for Kumaun Himalayas using data from eight micro earthquake record by a five station array with epicentral distance range varying between 10 km to 80 km for 30 sec window length and obtained a QC = (92 ± 4.73) f (1.07 ± 0.23) analyzing the SH wave form data of 1988 Nepal - India border earthquake. 285

The mean values of QC reveals a dependence on frequency varying from 292.9 at 1.5 Hz to 4880.1 at 18 Hz. In the Chamoli region of the Himalayas Mukhopadhayay et al., (2008) found that QC frequency relations for 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50s window lengths are (33 ± 2) f (1.17 ± 0.03) , ( 55 ± 6) f (1.76± 0.05 ) , (78 ± 20) f ( 0.98± 0.08) , (93 ± 18) f (1.07 ± 0.08) , (122±20) f ( 0.98± 0.07 ) , respectively. Mukhopadhayay and Sharma (2010) analyzed the coda of local earthquakes to study the attenuation characteristics of the Garhwal - Kumaon Himalayas. It is observed that QC increases with frequency and also varies. Sharma et al., (2009) estimated quality factor for P-wave, S-wave and Coda- waves in Chamoli region, and estimated frequency dependent relations for quality factors are QC = 30 f 1.21 , ( 0.82 ± 0.04 ) ( 0.71± 0.03 ) Qα = (44 ± 1) f and Qα = (87 ± 3) f . 10000 1000 Present study Northwestern Himalayas Qc 100 Tripathi(2012) Kumaun Himalayas LT=50 Singh(2012) WL=30 10 Garhwal Himalayas Gupta(1995) Western HimalayaS Mukhopadhyay(2007) 1 0.1 1 10 100 Frequency Figure 4: Comparison of estimated QC with other studies of Himalayas.

Tripathi et al., (2012) estimated coda wave attenuation using the single isotropic scattering method for frequency range 1-30 Hz for the Garhwal region for other data set. They used several starting lapse times and coda window lengths for the analysis to study the variation of attenuation characteristics. Results show that the Q c−1 values are frequency dependent in the −n considered frequency range, and they fit the frequency power-law Qc−1 ( f ) = Q 0−1 f . The Q0 estimates vary from about 50 for a 10 s lapse time and 10 s window lengths, to about 350 for a 60 s lapse time and 60 s window length combinations. The exponent of the frequency dependence law n ranges from 1.2 to 0.7; however, it is greater than 0.8, in general, which correlates well with the values of others in Himalaya region. The estimated coda attenuation values in the present study are comparable with that obtained from other regions of the Himalayas, as shown in Figure 4. Table 4: Frequency dependent power law QC = Q0 f n . n LT WL QC = Q0 f 50 10 61.8 f 0.992 50 20 107.2 f 0.967 50 30 113.5 f 1.016 50 40 161.1 f 0.998 For study region, increase in QC with the window length is attributed to increase in QC with depth, as longer the time window the larger will be the sampled area of the earth’s crust and mantle. This observation seems to indicate that there is a decrease in the level of heterogeneities with depth in the Garhwal Himalayas. This would imply that attenuation decreases with increasing depth. A strong correlation between the degree of frequency dependence , n value, and the level of tectonic activity was claimed (Aki 1980). This is also observed by others, in Himalayan region, that n value is higher for tectonically active regions compared to the tectonically stable regions (Kumar et al., 2005; Mukhopadhyaya et al., 2010; Hazarika et al., 2009; Sharma et al., 2009; Tripathi et al., 2012; Padhy et al., 2010;). For Garhwal Himalaya Gupta et al., (1995) estimated Q0 as 126 and n as 0.9. Mukhopadhyay et al., (2010) estimated Q0 as 119 and n as 0.99. The 288

V. CONCLUSION In the present study, the QC values have been estimated for Garhwal Himalayas region, using 90 seismograms from 75 local earthquakes recorded digitally at 20 different stations and analyzed for one lapse time (e.g. 50 s), four window lengths ( e. g. 10, 20, 30, and 40 s) and at 10 frequency bands with the central frequency in the range of 1.5 Hz to 28 Hz. The estimated QC values for the lapse time 50 s vary from 121 to 279 at 1.5 Hz and from 1790 to 5200 for 28 Hz where the coda window varies from 10 to 40 s. It is clear from the results (Table 3) that QC is a function of frequency in this region. The QC value increases as frequency increases. A frequency dependent relationship has also been obtained for the region (Table 4), which shows that there is a significant increase in Q0 values with increasing window length, while there is a nominal decrease in the degree of frequency dependence, n. This can also be interpreted that the scattering effect in the region exhibits a decreasing trend with increasing depth (Aki 1980). This may be due to decrease in the heterogeneities level of the medium. The general trend of the present coda attenuation study is similar to seismically and tectonically active region (Figure 4). Attenuation parameter QC is an important factor for understanding the physical mechanism of seismic wave attenuation in relation to the composition and physical condition of the Earth’s interior and it is also an essential parameter for the quantitative prediction of strong ground motion for the viewpoint of engineering seismology. Hence numerous studies of QC have been carried out worldwide by using different methods and concentrate on seismically active zones and densely populated area.
