Fig. 2

The distribution of peak amplitude ratio calculated for the JMA volcanic seismometer network averaged for each volcano. Shown are ratios at the 2–4 Hz frequency band for volcanoes across different regions: a Tohoku b Hokkaido c Kyushu d Kanto-Chubu. Hokkaido shows stretches of larger peak ratios whereas Tohoku correspondingly has lower ratios. Kanto-Chubu and Kyushu are somewhere in between, showing a mixture of large and small peak ratios. The colour scheme used mimics the one from Nishimura (2012)
