Abstract

The vertical component continuous data recorded by the national seismological networks (Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI) of Bosporus University and Earthquake Research Department (ERD) of Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency of Turkey) in the Adana Basin (Southeastern Turkey) are used to retrieve the Green's functions between two stations. The noise data were cut into 1-hour segments, scanned for the gaps caused by transmission drop-outs, preprocessed by removing the trend, mean and instrument response, down sampled to 10sps and low-pass filtered at 50s. Then the hourly crosscorrelations are computed and stacked and the Green's functions between two stations are retrieved. To validate the retrieved Green's functions, the Andirin earthquake of magnitude 5 occurred on 22.07.2012 near the station Andirin (ANDN) is used. By using the ANDN station as the virtual source, the Green's functions at KARA, KMRS, KIZK, MERS and YAYL stations are compared with the real earthquake seismograms. The agreement between the earthquake seismograms and the retrieved Green's functions suggests that the Rayleigh wave group velocities can reliably be estimated for the region by using ambient noise data.
