摘要: 使用兰州小孔径地震台阵记录的近10年地震观测垂直分量波形数据, 采用长、 短时间平均数比值方法(STA/LTA)叠加出适用于青藏高原东北缘地区的观测走时曲线. 结果表明, 兰州小孔径地震台阵独特的地理位置, 基本上能够记录到不同震中距(0—180°)和不同方位的地震事件; 使用不同频率滤波处理之后的地震数据记录叠加出相应的观测走时曲线, 从观测走时曲线中可以识别出不同体波震相(P, PKIKP, PKP, PP, PPP, PcP, ScP, S, SS等)的到时及其观测走时曲线特征. 这对识别地震各种震相, 认识和研究地球内部精细结构等具有非常重要的科学意义.Abstract: Based on the past 10 years vertical observational waveforms recorded by Lanzhou small aperture seismic array, which is located at the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, the observed travel-time curves are obtained by using STA/LTA technique. The results show that Lanzhou seismic array can record events with different epicentral distances between 0—180° and with different azimuths due to its particular location. By stacking the seismic records filtered with different frequencies, we can get corresponding observed travel-time curves so as to identify different body wave phases, such as P, PKIKP, PKP, PP, PPP, PcP, ScP, S, SS, and to study the characteristics of travel-time curves. It is of scientific significance to identify various seismic phases and further study fine structure of the Earth’s interior.

(b) Comparison of observed travel times with theoretical ones of the multiple earthquakes stacking of P-wave traces. The earthquakes have the same depth (30 km±3 km), the different back azimuth (75° and 200°) and the nearly similar distance (30.5° and 31.0°). (c) Comparison of observed P-wave travel times with theoretical ones of the multiple earthquakes stacking. The earthquakes have the same focal depth (10 km), the different back azimuth (136° and 250°) and the same distance (49.0°). In Figs.2b, c, the black vertical line is the observed stacked travel time for P wave and the blue one is the corresponding theoretical travel time
