Accurate earthquake parameters(e.g.focal mechanism and depth)are crucial for understanding the seismogenic mechanism.Based on waveforms of the 2018 Tonghai,Yunnan,MS5.0 earthquakes recorded by more than 30 broadband seismic stations of the Yunnan Earthquake Networks,we invert their focal mechanisms and depths by using Cut-and-Paste(CAP)method and three different regional velocity models.We also employ sPn depth-phases recorded by different stations situated at the azimuth of ~300° to estimate the focal depth of the Tonghai MS5.0 double earthquakes.The results are as follows:① Based on more broadband waveforms of near-earthquakes with better azimuth coverage,the obtained centroid depths(8 km and 7 km)of the two earthquakes inverted from different velocity models and frequency bands are more reliable.② By using sPn depth-phases at different stations with similar azimuth(~300°),we determine that the initial rupture depth of the two earthquakes are both about 10 km,which may indicate the rupture directivity(from bottom to top)of the earthquakes.③ According to the Double-difference relocation and our CAP inversions,we preliminarily infer that the Tonghai double earthquakes should occur on the same fault plane,whose parameters,strike/dip/rake,could be 20°/75°/-10°.
