The data from the seismic networks of the Kamchatka Branch of the Geophysical Survey of the Russian Academy of Sciences are used for calculating the cross correlations of seismic noise for the stationary digital stations over 2013 and for radio telemetric stations (RTS) in the region of the Klyuchevskoy volcano over the period from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2013. Four hundred and two correlations overall are calculated. The fundamental-mode group velocities of the Rayleigh waves are calculated in the periods ranging from 5 to 50 s. The calculations for the region of the Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes are based on the RTS data and cover the periods from 2 to 8 s. The two-dimensional (2D) maps of group velocity distributions in different periods are constructed with the use of the algorithm of surface wave tomography (Barmin, 2001). The velocity sections for the selected Kamchatka regions are reconstructed by the dispersion curve inversion technique (Mordret, 2014). For each region, the structure of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle down to a depth of 50 km was obtained.
