Abstract

On December 13, 1996, an earthquake with local magnitude (M$_L$) 4.5 occurred in the Yeongwol area of South Korea. The epicenter was 37.2545$^{\circ}$N and 128.7277$^{\circ}$E, which is located inside the Okcheon Fold Belt. The waveform inversion analysis was carried out to estimate source parameters of the event according to the filtering bandwidth of seismic data. Using 0.02$\sim$0.2 Hz filtering bandwidth, focal depth and seismic moment were estimated to be 6 km and 1.3$\times$10$^{16}$ N$\cdot$m, respectively. This seismic moment corresponds to the moment magnitude (M$_W$) 4.7. The focal mechanism by the waveform inversion and P wave first motion polarity analysis is a strike slip faulting including a small thrust component, and the direction of P-axis is ENE-WSW. The moment magnitude estimated by spectral analysis was 4.8, which is similar to that estimated by waveform inversion. Average stress drop was estimated to be 14.3 MPa.

1996년 12월 13일 강원도 영월군 지역에서 국지규모(M$_L$) 4.5의 지진이 발생하였다. 진앙은 37.2545$^{\circ}$N, 128.7277$^{\circ}$E이며, 지체구조구상 옥천습곡대에 해당한다. 지진자료의 필터링 대역에 따라 파형역산을 수행하였는데, 0.02$\sim$0.2 Hz 필터링 대역을 적용할 경우 진원 깊이는 6 km, 지진모멘트는 1.3$\times$10$^{16}$ N$\cdot$m로 추정되었다. 이 지진모멘트는 모멘트규모(M$_W$) 4.7에 해당한다. 파형역산과 P파의 초동 극성 분석을 통한 영월 지진의 발진기구는 역단층 성분을 포함한 주향이동단층 특성을 보이며, 주응력 방향은 동북동-서남서 방향이다. 스펙트럼 분석을 통해 추정된 모멘트규모는 4.8이며, 이는 파형역산에 의해 추정된 모멘트규모와 비슷하다. 평균 응력강하는 14.3 MPa로 추정되었다.
