SUMMARY on the single scattering model, coda-Q values (Q,) are estimated for several frequency bands from the time decay of coda wave amplitude. The Q, value shows a regional variation and frequency dependency of the form Q, mf”, where n is found to be 0.6-1.2. A method for estimating the 2-D Q, structure has been developed to investigate the regional variation of the Q, value beneath Tohoku, the NE part of Honshu, Japan. The Q, value at each grid point spatially distributed is estimated by averaging the observed Q, values for many event-station pairs with adequate weighting factors. The weighting factor at each grid point for an event-station pair is calculated by taking into account the amount of energy contribution to the coda wave from that grid point. The obtained 2-D Q, structure shows some relation to the S-wave velocity structure, the Q, structure and the seismic activity in this area. In general, low Q, regions have a tendency to correspond to the regions with low S-wave velocity, low Q, value and high seismic activity, while high Q, regions correspond to those with high S-wave velocity, high Qs value and low seismic activity. In the regions around active volcanoes and near the coast of the Japan Sea the Q, value is relatively low, whereas it is relatively high near the coast of the Pacific Ocean. On short-period seismograms we can see considerable seismic energy after the direct P- and S-wave arrivals. The energy in this part, which is called seismic coda, can be interpreted as scattered energy from randomly distributed scatterers in an elastic medium. A single scattering model has been proposed to interpret the origin of the coda wave (Aki 1969; Aki & Chouet 1975). According to this model, the coda wave is a superposition of the waves scattered once to the backward direction due to lateral heterogeneity in the medium, and Q values can be estimated as a function of frequency from the time decay of coda wave energy. Sat0 (1977) derived a theoretical formula for the space-time distribution of the energy density of the coda wave, and showed that the time decay of coda wave energy is independent of hypocentral distance and of the ray-path of direct wave through the medium. The Q value estimated from the time decay of coda wave amplitude represents the combined energy loss due to scattering and intrinsic absorption. We can express the coda Q value (Q,) in terms of scattering Q value (Q,) and intrinsic Q value (Qi) in the form (Dainty 1981): Q,’= Q;’ + Q,-’.
