Abstract
This study makes use of spectral models for tectonic earthquakes in application to volcano-tectonic (VT) and deep-focus long period volcanic (DL) earthquakes. For these earthquakes we adjusted the parameters of source spectra, and simultaneously, the medium where seismic waves propagate. We derived preliminary results to characterize the models of source spectra for volcanic earthquakes that occur on Klyuchevskoi Volcano. This method can also be used to estimate the attenuation parameters of seismic waves, which are important for the assessment of stress and strain in a volcanic medium.
