It describes the deviation at high frequencies between observed Fourier amplitude spectra calculated from seismograms and an ω−2 source model, such as the Brune (1970) model. Almost 30 years after its introduction, κ is used by seismologists and engineers alike and constitutes an important input parameter for several applications. Perhaps because of its importance, it is... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
