Abstract
Aki's “spectral ω2 model”[1] is used to estimate the amplitude field at epicentral distances up to 1000 km in the case of an absorption coefficient of seismic waves which varies with distance. Velocity spectra, the periods of the maximum of these spectra and the maximum velocity amplitudes are obtained. The results are compared with[2] and it is shown that the divergence of the amplitude field decreases if a variable absorption coefficient is used. The theoretical results, obtained in this case, approach the results seen in practice. The possibility of determining the limits of epicentral distances, at which the amplitude field may be considered as linear, is given.
