This paper reports the results of a case study of the application of the microtremor exploration method in western Turkey. We have conducted microtremor surveys at strong motion stations in Aydin and Denizli provinces to derive shallow S-wave velocity profiles. Array records of vertical microtremor motion were acquired at 12 and 15 stations in Aydin and Denizli provinces, respectively. A spatial autocorrelation analysis was applied to the records to estimate Rayleigh wave phase velocities in the frequency range of 3-30 Hz. Then, the phase velocity dispersion at each station was inverted to a one-dimensional S-wave profile down to a maximum depth of about 50 m. The soil models at 5 and 11 stations in Aydin and Denizli provinces, respectively, have a bedrock with an S-wave velocity of 400-600 m/s at depths less than 10 m. The spatial distribution of average S-wave velocities in the top 30 m of the revealed profiles shows low values in the Buyuk Menderes Graben and the Denizli Basin, and high values in the surrounding hill or mountain areas. We compared our S-wave profiles with those from previous surface-wave studies. S-wave velocities in shallow parts to a depth of 5-10 m are similar in the two studies. However, S-wave velocities in deep parts are different at some of the stations.
