Regional Wave Propagation Characteristics in Southern Asia.

Abstract

Lg Q values were determined for most parts of China. Higher Q values are seen from paths crossing the Tarim Platform. Lower Q values are found in Burma, southern Tibet, and along the mountains that border the eastern Tibetan Plateau. The overall low Q values found in China are similar to Q values found in the western United States. Large north-south variations were observed for the attenuation of the regional phases Pn and Lg at the CDSN station LSA. These variations reflect the rheological properties of the uppermost mantle and the crust, respectively.
