Popis: SUMMARY We simultaneously estimated Qp −1 and Qs −1 by applying the extended coda-normalization method at 39 stations of three local networks in the East-Central Iran. We measured frequencydependent attenuation of both P and S waves for the frequency range of 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 12 and 24 Hz. We have analysed 266 three-component seismograms of 53 local earthquakes, having focal depths less than 25 km, which occurred from 2003 December 28 to 2005 April 11. By fitting power-law frequency dependence to the estimated values over the whole stations, we obtained Qp −1 = (25 ± 3) × 10 −3 f (–0.99±0.04) and Qs −1 = (19 ± 2) × 10 −3 f (–1.02±0.06) in the upper crust of the East-Central Iran, where f is frequency in Hz. Our results are in the range of those estimated for Qp −1 and Qs −1 of the other seismically active regions.
