Investigating Near Surface S-Wave Velocity Properties Using Ambient Noise in Southwestern Taiwan

Ambient noise is typically used to estimate seismic site effects and velocity profiles instead of earthquake recordings, especially in areas with limited seismic data. The dominant Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) frequency of ambient noise is correlated to Vs30, which is the average S-w...
