Seismic bulk and shear attenuation along a transect from Kama‘ehuakanaloa volcano through Mauna Loa to the Aloha Cabled Observatory: Implications for the distribution of partial melt
Rhett Butler
Abstract:Bulk (QK) and shear (QS) attenuation are measured and modeled to ~ 50 km depth beneath Hawai‘i. High-frequency (> 50 Hz) earthquakes are routinely observed from the Aloha Cabled Observatory (ACO) along the azimuth to Mauna Loa, Pāhala, and Kama‘ehuakanaloa volcano. Bulk attenuation is consistently larger than shear attenuation beneath Hawai‘i at frequencies > 2 Hz. The Mauna Loa Summit shows the smallest Q values, and transects approaching the Summit from the southeast differ asymmetrically with those de… Show more
