A seismic attenuation zone below Popocatépetl volcano inferred from coda waves of local earthquakes

Using a single scattering model, weighted averages of the quality factor <Qc> were estimated at 6 Hz for coda wave windows 25s after S-wave arrival at depths ranging from 2 to 10 km and magnitudes between 2 and 3. Considering Qc-1 as intrinsic attenuation, we find a zone of seismic wave atten...

description Using a single scattering model, weighted averages of the quality factor <Qc> were estimated at 6 Hz for coda wave windows 25s after S-wave arrival at depths ranging from 2 to 10 km and magnitudes between 2 and 3. Considering Qc-1 as intrinsic attenuation, we find a zone of seismic wave attenuation between 6 and 8 km depth attributed to the presence of magma and partial melting of rock.
