The invention discloses a method for identifying Doppler effect in earthquake by using wavelet transform, and belongs to the field of earthquake engineering. According to the principle, seismic records in the initial period of a seismic station are selected for wavelet transformation, and seismic waves are superposed at a high-frequency part in front of fault sliding, so that the high-frequency amplitude of a wavelet spectrum is increased. A plurality of stations located in the direction perpendicular to a certain seismic fault are selected, along with increase of epicentral distances, wavelet spectrum high-frequency amplitudes of the stations are rapidly reduced, and wavelet spectrum low-frequency amplitudes are obviously larger than the wavelet spectrum high-frequency amplitudes when the epicentral distances are increased to a certain extent, which indicates that in the direction, a medium plays a main role in high-frequency absorption attenuation of seismic waves, and no Doppler effect occurs; and a plurality of stations in front of the sliding of the seismic fault are selected, and the invention finds that the high-frequency amplitude of the wavelet spectrum is obviously greater than the low-frequency amplitude of the wavelet spectrum along with the increase of the epicentral distance, which indicates that although the absorption attenuation effect of a medium on seismic waves exists, the Doppler effect enables the high-frequency amplitude of the wavelet spectrum to be increased. The method is clear in theory and has practical value.
