Abstract: The Binchuan Earthquake Transmitting Seismic Station is located in Dayindian reservoir, which 10 kilometers west of the Chenghai Fault. There are 3 earthquakes with magnitude of MS4.2, ML4.1 and ML4.0 occurred around BETSS on 21st and 24th, August, 2014. Data collected from 10 mobile seismic stations from 8th, August, 2014 to 28th, February, 2015, are used to get travel time changes using waveform cross-correlation method. We calculated and analyzed influences of atmospheric pressure, water level of Dayindian reservoir and tidal stress on travel time changes using ray tracing method. After eliminating the effects of above factors, we deem that the possible reason of the increase of travel time in August 2018 is the the 3 earthquakes mentioned above.
