Abstract
To estimate the S-wave velocity structure beneath the KS31 broad-band station in Wonju, Korea, we used H- κ stacking and joint inversion of receiver functions and surface-wave dispersion curves derived from 297 teleseismic events (Mw > 5.5) recorded during the period between 2002 and 2009. We thereby determined that the average depth to a nearly flat Moho is 32.4 ± 0.5 km within tens of kilometer radius of the seismic station. For the crust at this location, we estimate an average shear-wave velocity of 3.69 km/s and a ratio of P- to S-wave velocities, VP/VS, of 1.72 ± 0.04, as is typical for continental crust. A negative phase in the receiver functions at 1 s indicates the presence of a shear- wave low velocity layer in a depth interval of 10 to 18 km in the upper crust beneath the KS31 station.
