“…2, and this structure guides the propagation of surface waves. Koyama et al (1988) reported that this trench guided the propagation of Love waves from events that occurred in western Nagano Prefecture. Furumura and Hayakawa (2007) reported that longperiod ground motions observed in the Tokyo area during the 2004 Niigata-ken Chuetsu M6.8 earthquake were propagated thorough this trench.…”

We compared the long-period ground motion observed in the Tokyo Bay area during two shallow M6.7 earthquakes that occurred in northern Nagano Prefecture, Japan, on March 12, 2011, and November 22, 2014. The magnitudes, focal depths, and source mechanisms of these events were almost identical, but their seismograms were quite different. Significant long-period later arrivals with a predominant period of 5 s were recognized in the velocity traces of the 2011 event, but there were no such remarkable later arrivals in the 2014 event traces. The ground motions at stations located outside the basin area were studied as incident waves to the Kanto Basin. A large wave packet with a predominant period of 5 s was recognized in the velocity traces of the 2011 event, but there was no significant wave packet in the 2014 event traces. Based on particle motion, this wave packet was hypothesized to be a Rayleigh wave. The source regions of the two events have quite different subsurface structures. The different characteristics in longperiod ground motion in the Tokyo Bay area during the two events were due to different Rayleigh wave excitations in the source regions.
