摘要
我们利用2008年汶川M_S8.0地震的余震给出了中国四川龙门山断裂带区域纵波速度(VP)、剪切波速度(VS)和波速比(VP/VS)的三维(3D)模型。该速度和波速比模型是利用双差地震层析成像程序的一个新版本tomoDDPS(Zhang,2003)获得的,这个版本可以同时反演VP,VS,VP/VS,以及地震的位置。用于反演的数据来自位于一个东北到西南长400km、西北到东南宽200km的区域内的63个固定台站和临时台站,包括了73 013条P波到时、62 287条S波到时,以及61 823条S-P波走时差。速度模型显示了沿着断层和穿过断层的不均匀性。总体而言,速度模型和当地地质特征一致,老的岩石波速高,而年轻的岩石波速低。龙门山断裂带是VP,VS和VP/VS的一个明显分界。基本上在15km以上,断层西部呈现高VP,VS和低VP/VS,对应着松潘—甘孜褶皱系;而在断层东部则呈现低VP,VS和高VP/VS,对应着四川盆地。沿着断层方向,速度结构和多个破裂滑移模型比较吻合,两个高速体恰好对应着两个较大滑移距离的区域。这显示了速度结构控制着沿断层面的滑移分布。
