Fractal and Chaos Properties of Explosion Earthquakes Followed by Harmonic Tremor at Semeru Volcano, East Java, Indonesia

Sukir Maryanto, Didik R. Santosa, Iyan Mulyana, Muhamad Hendrasto

Abstract— Fractal and chaos analyses of successive event of explosion earthquake and harmonic tremor recorded at Semeru volcano were applied to investigate the dynamical system regarding to their eruptive mechanism. The eruptive activity at Semeru volcano East Java, Indonesia is intermittent emission of ash and bombs with Strombolian style which occurred at interval of 15 to 45 minutes. The explosive eruptions accompanied by explosion earthquakes and followed by harmonic tremor which generated by continuous emission of volcanic ash. Spectral, fractal and Lyapunov exponent of successive event of explosion and harmonic tremor were analyzed. Peak frequencies of explosion earthquakes range 1.2 to 1.9 Hz and those of the harmonic tremor have peak frequency range 1.5 – 2.2 Hz. Temporal change of fractal dimension shows a higher fractal dimension of explosion earthquakes and gradually decrease during the occurrence of harmonic tremors. The phase space is reconstructed and evaluated based on the Lyapunov exponents. Harmonic tremors have smaller Lyapunov exponent than explosion earthquakes. It can be considerably as correlated complexity of the mechanism from the variance of spectral and fractal dimension and can be concluded that the successive event of harmonic tremor and explosions are chaotic.

Index Terms— Semeru volcano, explosion earthquakes, harmonic tremor, spectral, fractal dimension, lyapunov exponent.

1 INTRODUCTION

EMERU volcano is an andesitic stratovolcano located in East Java (Fig. 1). The peak’s summit rises 3676 m above sea level and it is the highest, active volcano on
the island of Java. Frequent explosions at the summit cra- ter of Jonggring Seloko have been occurring continuously since 1941.[1],[2] During this period, small to moderate strombolian and vulcanian type explosions have oc- curred, producing explosion plumes rising 400–1000 m above the summit. During active periods, lava flow, lava dome extrusion and pyroclastic flows have also been ob- served. In 2005 the frequency of the explosions averaged
3453 times per month and 115 per day, respectively.[3],[4] In previous study, Maryanto et al., 2005, classified harmonic tremor at Sakurajima volcano into 2 groups: Harmonic Tremors occurred after B-type earthquake swarms (HTB) and Harmonic Tremor which occurred immediately after Eruption (HTE). There is no study fo- cus on harmonic tremor after an eruption at Semeru vol- cano previously. We have analyzed Harmonic Tremors after an Eruption (HTE) that occurred at Semeru volcano on March 2005. HTEs that occurred at Sakurajima volcano were characterized to understand more detail volcanic activity as supporting information for prediction of vol-
canic eruption.[5]
Most of the previous study mentioned above are
mainly based on the characteristics of spectra which
mostly triggered by linear process, however little intent
has been given on nonlinear process. In contrary, theoret-
ically volcanic tremors can be generated by some kind of
nonlinear processes.[6] Methods based on the discipline
of nonlinear dynamics have been rarely applied to the
volcanic tremor and explosion earthquake recorded at some volcanoes. The first investigation of fractal proper- ties of volcanic signals have been conducted for volcanic tremor for the tremor and gas piston events recorded at Kilauea volcano, Hawaii.[7] The results revealed a fractal dimension of the tremor attractor in the range of 3.1-4.1 with the average value of 3.75. This was interpreted that the source of tremor is not controlled by a stochastic process (where fractal dimension should be infinite), therefore it can be described by only a few degrees of freedom. Some studies of tremor and low-frequency events reported similar estimates of the fractal dimen- sions confirming the low-dimensional nature of the phe- nomena.[6],[7],[8],[9],[10] Furthermore, the time interval between two successive explosions can be considered as a dynamical variable.
In the present paper, another approach of fractal and chaos analyses of the explosion earthquakes followed by harmonic tremor has been applied. We applied the me- thod to successive event of explosion earthquakes and harmonic tremors recorded at Semeru volcano, East Java, Indonesia. First, we briefly describe the data obtained from Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mi- tigation, Indonesia. We then present a method to estimate the fractal dimension and Lyapunov exponent of the ex- plosion earthquakes and harmonic tremor. We follow with an application of the method to our data and termi- nate with a discussion of the implications of these results for driving mechanism of the events.

Figure 3 represent a spectrogram of HTE recorded at
station LEK which occurred on March 13, 2005. Broader
frequency bands at the beginning of the spectrogram are caused by explosion earthquakes. A few minutes later, sharp peaks are recognized and their frequencies spaced regularly.
To grasp temporal changes of peak frequencies more clearly, we calculated the running spectra of HTE without overlap of time windows, by shifting the time windows of
10.24 s. Temporal changes of dominant frequency of har- monic tremor at BES and LEK station are shown in Fig. 4.
Waveforms with duration 240 seconds are divided in- to 24 time windows. In the 1st time windows, dominant frequency has 2.1 Hz and then 2nd to 12th dominant fre- quency gradually decreased, it is shifted to 1.8 Hz. In 12th to 24th, the frequency increased from 1.8 to 2.3 Hz on BES station. The temporal change at LEK station has similar pattern. 1st to 5th dominant frequency has 2 Hz and then
6th to 14th the frequency gradually decreased it is shifted
to 1.8 Hz. In 14th to 23rd the frequency become increased
from 1.8 to 2.3 Hz. Frequency of second mode also
changes similarly.

evaluate the fraction dimensions and called the time- dependent fractal dimension (TDFD).[11]
In practice, we divided the seismogram data into short time intervals by a windowing with a window function. We then evaluate the fractal dimensions of the points in- side this windowing. Next, we move this window by n points (t) and again evaluate the fractal dimension of moved window. By repeating this process throughout the whole data, we can observe the change in the fractal di- mension with respect to time. In the case of TDFD, the horizontal axis is the window index and vertical axis is the fractal dimension value. Fig. 5 shows typical succes- sive events of explosion earthquakes and harmonic tre- mor occurred on March 15, 2005 and its temporal change of fractal dimension determined by CEM with TDFD.

5 QUANTIFYING CHAOS

One of the easiest ways in obtaining the Lyapunov expo- nent can be done by observing the separation of two close initial trajectories on the attractor and taking the loga- rithm of the separation. This method cannot be applied to the observation data that have no dealing with two or more sets data closed to initial conditions. In this case, we have to reconstruct the phase space from the time series data.[12]

5.1 Reconstruction of phase space

Reconstructing the phase space from the time series with appropriate time delay and embedding dimension makes it possible to obtain an attractor whose Lyapunov spectrum is identical to that of the original attractor. Ma- thematically, a reconstructed phase space can be de- scribed as follows
these time-intervals, we can observe the change in the degree of fluctuations with respect to time. These fluctua-

time-series is a multiple of the sampling interval used. The dimension m of the reconstructed space is considered as the sufficient dimension for recovering the object with- out distorting any of its topological properties, thus it may be different from the true dimension of the space where this object lies. This procedure of phase space re- construction is termed embedding and the formulation of Takens is called the delay embedding theorem, with m being the embedding dimension. In practical applications both the delay time and the embedding dimension have to be determined from the time-series itself.

5.1.1 Selection of delay time

In a phase space reconstruction procedure, we must
cover the appropriate number of coordinates m of the phase space. The idea of a number of coordinates m is a dimension in which the geometrical structure of the phase space is completely unfolded.[14]
The basic method in determining the embedding di- mension in phase-space reconstruction is the False Near- est Neighbor method.[15],[17] Suppose the vector yNN is a false neighbor of y, having arrived in its neighborhood by projection from a higher dimension, because the present dimension m does not unfold the attractor, then by going to the next dimension m+1, we may move this false neighbor out of the neighborhood of y. Thus, if the addi- tional distance is large compared to the distance in di- mension d between nearest neighbors, we have a false neighbor. Otherwise, we have a true neighbor. In order to

have a straightforward representation of the minimum embedding dimension, Cao [14] defined the mean value of E1, which generally represents the relative Euclidean distance between y NN and y NN in two consecutive dimen- sions. Cao’s number E1 consequently will stop changing when the dimension m is greater than the minimum em- bedding dimension m0.

ensure that the points in each dimension (coordinate) are independent of each other. Therefore, time delay r must be chosen so as to result in points that are not corre- lated to previously generated points. One proposed way of choosing the delay time r for phase space reconstruc- tion is by calculating the Mutual Information of the time series data and choosing r as the time of the first local minimum [13]. The Mutual Information of time series xi{t=1, 2, …, M} is defined:

Examples of an attractor of explosion earthquake and harmonic tremor are shown in Figs. 8 and 9, respectively. The attractor obtained from the seismogram of HTE rec- orded at station LEK.

5.1.3. Estimation of Lyapunov exponent

The current method is principally based on the work of

6 DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUDING REMARKS

In our study, the temporal change of fractal dimension of successive event between explosion earthquakes and harmonic tremor have been calculated based on CEM with moving windows of 1024 points and 50% over- lap.[11] The temporal pattern shows that fractal dimen- sion gradually decreased from explosion earthquakes to volcanic tremor and fluctuates in a certain range during the occurrence of harmonic tremor. The fractal dimension of explosion earthquakes has higher value than harmonic tremor at all events and can be considerably as correlated complexity of the source mechanism from the variance of fractal dimension.
The spatio-temporal change of fractal dimension of these events shown in Fig. 14.[11] Various studies have suggested that the dominant frequency of tremor is re- lated to the dimension of magma body and coupling be-

Sakurajima increased from 0.9 to 3.7 Hz (Maryanto et al. [19]. This suggests that condition of conduit is more stable and the size is smaller at Semeru. This associated by the change dimension and/or physical boundary conditions of conduit. Furthermore, Maryanto et al.[11],[19]and Ta- meguri et al.[20],[21] suggest the following facts should be considered as constraints for modeling of their genera- tion mechanism; spectrum peaks appear at the frequen- cies of multiple integers of the fundamental frequencies, peak frequencies of harmonic tremor are rather stable, source depths coincide with the gas pocket at uppermost part the conduit.

monic tremor identified based on Lyapunov exponent.

physical boundary conditions of the origin (Kamo,
1977).[18] The changes dominant frequency harmonic
tremor at Semeru volcano may be existence changes the
conduit size and dimension. It was interpreted as the im-
plication of gas accumulation release that occurred spo-
radically. The source of gas is magma chamber convec-
tion that accumulates gas near the surface and form gas
pocket. This gas pocket is covered by semi-solid lava
plug. After the gas release process, the pocket will be
empty and then refill continuously by another gas that
produced from magma chamber. In addition, the varia-
tion of fractal dimension along the seismogram can be
explained in terms of stationary or non-stationary beha- vior of source. Maryanto and Iyan (2009) suggest that explosion earthquakes show non-stationary behavior in- dicated by higher fractal dimension, 2.2-2.5, while har- monic tremors present stationary behavior characterized by lower fractal dimension 1.6-1.9.[11]

Based on the spectral analyses, compared with har- monic tremor after explosion at Sakurajima, the change of frequency is smaller at Semeru. The harmonic tremor at

mated by using the algorithm proposed by Sano and Sa- wada method [16]. We applied the method to both of ex- plosion earthquakes and harmonic tremor parts of HTE recorded at station BES and LEK. The largest Lyapunov exponent, A1 of harmonic tremor are smaller than the ex- plosion earthquakes at both stations. These indicate that explosion earthquakes have more complicated structure of signals or the quantity information embodied in a pat- tern. Because of successive events contain of two different types of volcanic seismic signals, we estimated that the source of these events should be changed from unstable to more stable source as detected by temporal change of fractal dimension and higher Lyapunov exponent of ex- plosion earthquake than harmonic tremor. In this case, when an explosion earthquake occurred a resonance may occur immediately at the upper part of the conduit.
The explosion earthquakes followed by harmonic tre- mors contain of fluctuations concerned with frequency, amplitude, self-affine property, and chaotic behavior, these events may caused by non-linear source processes involving one or several different kinds of magmatic ac- tivity that not only supported by theoretical considera- tions [22], [23], but also by certain characteristics ob-

served in volcanic seismic signals.
Though the results of spectra, fractal and chaos ana-

lyses can tell us about change of conduit and/or source of

harmonic tremor, they cannot provide a clue as to what the physical mechanism of this source is. Other methods, that can extract information concerning the physical properties and geometrical configuration of the rock-fluid system from seismic and acoustic data combined with visual observations, are needed in order to accomplish this task. Future volcano monitoring and prediction ef- forts should, therefore, rely on a multidisciplinary ap- proach on experimental, observational and theoretical when trying to study the nature of harmonic tremor sources whether independent or associated with other volcanic earthquakes.
