Abstract:In this paper, firstly, we determined the high frequence attenuation tendency(ω-2)of P and S waves of the source in Jingtai area using spectral ratio of two events, utilizing the data of the wired transmission network of Lanzhou; and then measured Qp and Q3 values with the method, of trial and error. It,showed that the Qp and Q3 values (from 1988 to Oct. 1990) of medium on all paths between the mainshock source(Ms=6.2) in Jingtai on Oct. 20 1990 and each station before the mainshock are obviously, higher than those of after the major earthquake and the reference values (Q values of media from, 1984 to 1985). This paper also compared the Q values in Jingtai area with the ones in other places of china. Finally, the reasons of the changes of Q values were discussed physically by using the combination model.
