Abstract: On the condition of near-source, the Brune model is employed to determine the focal dynamic parameters of 98 ML≥2.5 earthquakes occurred in southwest Yunnan during January 2005 to May 2007 with seismic waveform data recorded by the Kunming Digital Seismic Network. Space-time variation characteristics of apparent and corner frequency before 2007 Ning′er MS6.4 earthquake in Yunnan Province on June 4, 2007 are analyzed. The results show that before Ning′er MS6.4 earthquake, high apparent stress(higher than 2.5×105 Pa) mainly concentrated in the area from Honghe fault to Wuliangshan fault, distribution of low apparent stress (higher than 2.5×105 Pa) was random and dispersed. Small corner frequency (smaller than 1.5 Hz) mainly concentrated in the area from Honghe fault to Wuliangshan fault, the range of distribution enlarged continuously with the frequency increase until the entire area was covered. And big corner frequency (bigger than 1.5 Hz) mainly concentrated in the southwest of the epicenter area. The apparent stress showed an obvious increase process and the corner frequency including ML≥3.6 earthquakes showed a decrease-increase-decrease process, but the corner frequency for ML≤3.6 earthquakes showed a trend of decrease.
