S-wave modelling of the Showa-Shinzan lava dome in Usu Volcano, Northern Japan, from seismic observations
GEOPHYSICAL JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL(2022)
摘要
To obtain an internal S-wave velocity structure, we conducted a passive seismic campaign with 21 1-Hz seismometers on and around the Showa-Shinzan lava dome, which emerged during the 1943-1945 eruption of Usu Volcano, Japan. Before the campaign, we calibrated seismometers and found slight phase-response differences between seismometers of less than 1-2 degrees. After the campaign, we extracted seismic wavefield by taking cross-correlations of vertical-component ambient noise records between seismic sites. We developed a new method to measure phase velocities of the Rayleigh wave automatically by assuming layered structure and finally obtained 1-D S-wave velocity models in summit, roof and base regions. The obtained S-wave velocity right beneath the intruded lava dome is higher than that in surrounding areas by a few tens of per cent down to a few hundred metres below sea level, indicating narrow but deep existence of the root of the lava dome. The obtained S-wave velocity at depths shallower than similar to 50 m inside the lava dome in the summit area was similar to 1 km s(-1), significantly lower than that predicted from the density of 2.3 x 10(3) kg m(-3) estimated in previous muon-radiography studies and a conventional scaling, indicating the effect of cracking in the lava dome.
