Abstract:	摘要： We investigate the relationship between seismic moment M 0 and source duration tw of microearthquakes by using high-quality seismic data recorded with a vertical borehole array installed in central Taiwan. We apply a waveform cross-correlation method to the three-component records and identify several event clusters with high waveform similarity, with event magnitudes ranging from 0.3 to 2.0. Three clusters—Clusters A, B and C—contain 11, 8 and 6 events with similar waveforms, respectively. To determine how M 0 scales with tw , we remove path effects by using a path-averaged Q. The results indicate a nearly constant tw for events within each cluster, regardless of M 0, with mean values of tw being 0.058, 0.056 and 0.034 s for Clusters A, B and C, respectively. Constant tw , independent of M 0, violates the commonly used scaling relation ${t_w} \propto M_0^{1/3}$ . This constant duration may arise either because all events in a cluster are hosted on the same isolated seismogenic patch, or because the events are driven by external factors of constant duration, such as fluid injections into the fault zone. It may also be related to the earthquake nucleation size. 出版者： Oxford University Press (OUP) 出版日期： 2016-08-01 出處： Geophysical Journal International, 2016-08, Vol.206 (2), p.757-773 版權： The Authors 2016.
