To obtain an internalS-wave velocity structure, we conducted a passive seismic campaign with 21 1-Hz seismometers on and around the Showa-Shinzan lava dome, which emerged during the 1943–1945 eruption of Usu Volcano, Japan. Before the campaign, we calibrated seismometers and found slight phase-response differences between seismometers of less than 1–2°. After the campaign, we extracted seismic wavefield by taking cross-correlations of vertical-component ambient noise records between seismic sites. We developed a new method to measure phase velocities of the Rayleigh wave automatically by assuming layered structure and finally obtained 1-DS-wave velocity models in summit, roof and base regions. The obtainedS-wave velocity right beneath the intruded lava dome is higher than that in surrounding areas by a few tens of per cent down to a few hundred metres below sea level, indicating narrow but deep existence of the root of the lava dome. The obtainedS-wave velocity at depths shallower than ∼50 m inside the lava dome in the summit area was ∼1 km s−1, significantly lower than that predicted from the density of 2.3 × 103kg m−3estimated in previous muon-radiography studies and a conventional scaling, indicating the effect of cracking in the lava dome.
