Abstract:

We use the slowness azimuth station correction (SASC) method to improve the location accuracy of the Wenchuan aftershocks recorded by the Nagqu and Hotan seismic arrays. The results show that the standard deviations of back azimuth and slowness errors of Wenchuan aftershocks recorded by the Nagqu array decreased by 32% and 58% respectively after correction. The decrease is 38% and 71% for the Hotan array. After the correction, the location accuracy of all Wenchuan aftershocks recorded by the Nagqu array is improved. For the Hotan array, the accuracy is improved in the slowness estimation for 78% of aftershocks and in back azimuth estimation for all aftershocks.
