ANELASTIC ATTENUATION<br />

Figure 4 plots the coefficients of anelastic attenuation, c(f), as well as 2(/) • For the frequency<br />

below 2 Hz, the calculated Q values are quite scattered. <strong>The</strong>refore, we only regressed the results<br />

above 2 Hz, and obtained the frequency-dependent Q as Q = 481.5 • /°' 31 .
