We use ambient-noise-based seismic monitoring to detect an anomalous seismic velocity decrease (∼0.01%) widely distributed in Honshu that arose about 1 year after the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. The anomaly is located along the central quaternary volcanic axis, and it suggests that the changes are related to volcanic processes. After correction for possible external environmental forcing-related velocity changes, the anomaly in the seismic velocity remains, which implies that it is associated with some internal physical process. We show a general strong positive correlation between the seismic velocity changes and the intensity of ground motion derived from the daily cumulative seismic moment. However, the lack of correlation during the anomaly itself reveals that this reduction is not directly caused by earthquake shaking. Tiltmeter low-pass observations show temporal variations that are correlated with the velocity changes. These observations strengthen the hypothesis of actual physical deformation. A previously reported decrease in fault strength (∼10%) for the same period as the velocity anomaly further supports a physical property change in the upper crust. We also note a simultaneous increase in activity of low-frequency events in the volcanic area, which suggests an increase in pore pressure in the upper crust. We propose that the observed anomalous seismic velocity decrease in early 2012 is due to an increase in pore pressure induced by an upward fluid migration, which at the same time triggered the increase in fluid-driven swarm seismicity and low-frequency events. We recall the depth-dependent seismic velocity changes in Honshu and derive an average diffusion of 1 m2/s over around 11 months after the Tohoku-Oki earthquake.

2011年东北冲积地震后日本东北部流体运移的地震证据

我们使用基于环境噪声的地震监测来检测2011年M w大约1年后在本州广泛分布的异常地震速度下降(〜0.01%)东北东北大地震9.0 异常位于中央第四纪火山轴上,这表明这些变化与火山作用有关。在校正可能的外部环境强迫相关速度变化之后,地震速度异常仍然存在,这意味着它与某些内部物理过程有关。我们显示出地震速度变化与从每日累积地震矩得出的地震动强度之间普遍存在强的正相关关系。但是,异常本身缺乏相关性,这表明这种减少不是直接由地震震动引起的。倾斜仪的低通观测显示了与速度变化相关的时间变化。这些观察结果加强了实际物理变形的假设。先前报道的断层强度在与速度异常相同的时期内下降了约10%,这进一步支持了上地壳的物理性质变化。我们还注意到火山区低频事件活动的同时增加,这表明上地壳的孔隙压力增加。我们提出,2012年初观测到的异常地震速度下降是由于向上的流体运移引起的孔隙压力增加,同时又触发了流体驱动的群地震活动和低频事件的增加。我们回想起本州与深度有关的地震速度变化,得出平均扩散为1 m 我们还注意到火山区低频事件活动的同时增加,这表明上地壳的孔隙压力增加。我们提出,2012年初观测到的异常地震速度下降是由于向上的流体运移引起的孔隙压力增加,同时又触发了流体驱动的群地震活动和低频事件的增加。我们回想起本州与深度有关的地震速度变化,得出平均扩散为1 m 我们还注意到火山区低频事件活动的同时增加,这表明上地壳的孔隙压力增加。我们提出,2012年初观测到的异常地震速度下降是由于向上的流体运移引起的孔隙压力增加,同时又触发了流体驱动的群地震活动和低频事件的增加。我们回想起本州与深度有关的地震速度变化,得出平均扩散为1 m 同时触发了流体驱动的群地震活动和低频事件的增加。我们回想起本州与深度有关的地震速度变化,得出平均扩散为1 m 同时触发了流体驱动的群地震活动和低频事件的增加。我们回想起本州与深度有关的地震速度变化,得出平均扩散为1 m东北大地震发生后约11个月内,速度为2 / s。
