Regional Path Effects on Seismic Wave Propagation in Central Mexico

Abstract: We present results of the analysis of a set of seismograms recorded in a temporary array of seven broadband seismic stations located in central Mexico. Our purpose was to investigate path effects on ground motion in central Mexico for earthquakes occurring in the subduction zone, along the Pacific coast. All our stations were located on rock. Nineteen earthquakes (3.6 Ͻ M c Ͻ 4.9), recorded by all seven stations, were analyzed. The results show that path effects result in significant amplification and an incre… Show more

“…Results from these exercises led to conclude that surface-waves trains generated at the edges of the basin101314 suffer a rapid decay as they propagate, and thus to discard this mechanism as a possible explanation for the long seismic records715. This conclusion invoked the existence of regional-scale effects producing the elongation of the incoming wavefield to Mexico City from subduction earthquakes, such as multipathing of seismic waves due to scatterers in the crust and surroundings of the basin1617, and seismic energy entrapment in both the accretionary prism near the source region and the Transmexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB)1819. The interaction between the incoming wavefield and the local basin conditions may also elongate the ground motion when the resonant frequencies of the basin coincide with the dominant periods of the wavefield20.…”

“…En este trabajo se parte del análisis de una trayectoria en específico para tres eventos, lo que implica una menor dispersión de residuos (ecuación 10), en lugar de combinar las dos direcciones norte-sur y este-oeste (terreno en dirección a la costa), puesto que en otros estudios este segundo análisis ha mostrado diferencias, en el nivel de atenuación, para cada trayectoria (e.g., Valdés et al, 1987;Gutiérrez y Singh, 1988;Singh et al, 1988;Cárdenas et al, 1994Cárdenas et al, , 1998Ottemöller et al, 2002;Cárdenas-Soto y Chávez-García, 2003;García et al, 2009). …”

“…Por otro lado, estudios previos enfocados a la zona dentro del MVB (e.g., Campillo et al, 1989;Shapiro et al, 1997;Furumura y Kennett, 1998;Cárdenas-Soto y Chávez-García, 2003) han reportado que el fenómeno de amplificación y duración en la fase Lg ocurren en frecuencias de 0.2 y 2.0 Hz, este comportamiento se muestra también en el sitio donde se localiza JUR1(sitio localizado más al norte respecto a las sitios estudiados dentro del MVB), con valores de PGA dentro del rango de frecuencias de entre 0.3 y 2 Hz. Sin embargo, el análisis mostrado en la figura 11a, es consistente con un comportamiento de la señal que podría ser interpretado como un decaimiento lento de la amplitud al entrar al MVB, principalmente en las PGA asociadas a frecuencias de 0.3 y 2.0 Hz, mas no una amplificación del suelo.…”
