Lg and Pg Attenuation in the Middle East

Abstract

The objective of this study is to obtain laterally varying Q models for multiple regional waves, including Sn, Lg and Pg for the Middle East. We are developing Q models that have the highest possible lateral resolution. For some waves such as Lg and Pg, the resulting Q model will be in the form of a tomographic Q map; for other waves such as Sn, the resulting models will consist of blockage maps. Blockage effects will be represented by low effective Q values in the models.
