Tsunami Wave Analysis and Possibility of Splay Fault Rupture During the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was observed by two satellites, close in space and time, that traversed the Indian Ocean 2?h after the Sumatra–Andaman earthquake, but which observed different tsunami lead wave morphologies. The earlier satellite, Jason-1, recorded a lead wave with two peaks of similar amplitude and wavelength, while the later satellite, TOPEX/Poseidon, recorded a lead wave with only one longer wavelength uplift. To resolve this disparity, we examine the travel paths of long wavelength waves over the seafloor bathymetry. Waves traveling from the margin will traverse significantly different paths to arrive at the two satellite transects. The result is that the satellites are sensitive to different parts of the margin; Jason-1 is highly sensitive to the margin in the area of the epicenter, while TOPEX is sensitive to a more northerly section. By developing solutions of the ocean gravity wave equations, accounting for dispersion, we show that the double peak of the Jason-1 satellite observations are consistent with coseismic rupture of a splay fault of limited along-strike extent, located north of Simeulue Island. The doubly peaked morphology can be reproduced with co-activation of the subduction zone interface and the splay fault, which creates a seafloor uplift pattern with two distinct areas of uplift. The Jason-1 satellite is sensitive to a splay fault in this portion of the margin, whereas the TOPEX satellite would not be significantly affected by this uplift pattern. By back-projecting satellite observation points to the margin, we constrain the location of the proposed splay fault and find that it correlates with a bathymetric high. The aftershock locations, uplift of corals on Simeulue Island and a fault scarp on Pulau Salaut Besar are also consistent with the activation of a splay fault in the area delimited by the back-projection. Our work also shows that it is critical to fully capture gravity wave dispersion in order to represent features of the lead wave profile that may not be as well characterized by the shallow water (long-wavelength) model. It is also necessary to account for dispersion so as to precisely assess wavefront travel times; this leads us to conclude that the rupture must have reached very near to the trench and propagated with an updip rupture velocity of order 2.0?km/s or more.

2011年安庆4.8级地震序列S波分裂研究

采用互相关系数法, 计算了2011年安庆M_S4.8地震的余震S波分裂参数。 结果表明, 余震序列的S波分裂现象明显, 快S波平均偏振方向在近NNW向, 与区域最大水平主压应力方向基本一致。 通过分析延迟时间随时间的变化趋势, 可以看出M_S4.8地震后有明显的应力释放现象。 在几次较大余震前, 观测到延迟时间呈现增加的特征, 并且其中一次余震在发生之前的短时间内还出现延迟时间减小的现象, 这一现象符合震前应力长时间积累和短时间应力释放的结论, 时间延迟在强震前会出现下降具有重要的地震短临预测意义。 研究认为 S 波分裂参数可以反映区域应力场的动态变化信息, 可以为安徽南部地区应力场研究与地震预测提供有用的信息。     

Earthquake-Generating Structure During the Period of the 1992 Sichuan Lima Earthquake Sequence

In this paper,a test or alternative scheme for studying large earthquake sequences through the study of small earthquake sequences is suggested,and a small earthquake sequence,the Lima earthquake sequence for which analogue records have been turned into digital data,is used here.In order to provide the deep construction background and the spatial distribution of structure for generating earthquakes,the P-wave and S-wave layered velocity models in this area are obtained by using mine explosion and earthquake observed records; then,the hypocenter locations and focal depths of the Lima earthquake sequence are determined adopting the velocity models given above and using a location method with numerical properties for a microseismic monitoring network(Zhao et al.,1994)and a new method for determining focal depth from data of a local seismographic network(Zhao,1992); finally,based on this,the variation of quality factor Q of the crustal medium during the period of the sequence is estimated.The obtained resul     

利用纵、横波的拐角频率比值和位移谱零频极限比值计算波速比——以芦山M_S7.0地震序列为例

使用区域固定台网数字地震记录资料,计算2013年4月20日四川芦山MS7.0地震余震序列的震源谱参数,通过纵、横波的拐角频率比值和纵、横波位移谱零频极限比值计算波速比。结果显示:1拐角频率比值得到的波速比平均值约为1.27,零频极限比值得到的波速比平均值约为1.67,零频极限比值得到的结果更接近泊松介质的波速比1.73;2两种方法得到的波速比变化趋势基本一致:在主震后均处于较低异常水平,最后一个MS5.4余震后,波速比回返升高;3零频极限比值得到的波速比异常形态较明显,在3个MS5.4余震前都呈现出"降低-回返"的过程,在回返之后发生最大余震;4在数据处理过程中,是否对介质做非弹性衰减校正对两种方法的结果影响不大;5单台波速比与多台波速比的变化趋势基本一致。

尾波干涉法在汶川地震余震定位中的应用

中小地震的震源位置及其变化对于研究地震构造、 断层性质以及地震应力场的演化等问题都有极为重要的意义。 然而以HypoDD双差定位法为代表的常规定位方法对地壳速度结构要求很高, 且受台站分布影响较大。 而尾波干涉法不需要了解速度模型的精细结构, 只要求速度结构中存在各向不均一性散射体即可, 且对台站分布要求低, 因此适合应用在中小地震的相对位置变化的研究上。 本文以汶川地震余震为例, 研究利用尾波干涉法确定相似地震相对位置的可行性及其稳定性, 并将其结果与双差法进行了比较。 发现当台站分布较好时, 其结果与双差法所得结果较为一致, 而当台站分布较差时, 尾波干涉法所得结果更为可靠。     

Slip Distribution of the 1963 Great Kurile Earthquake Estimated from Tsunami Waveforms

The 1963 great Kurile earthquake was an underthrust earthquake occurred in the Kurile?CKamchatka subduction zone. The slip distribution of the 1963 earthquake was estimated using 21 tsunami waveforms recorded at tide gauges along the Pacific and Okhotsk Sea coasts. The extended rupture area was divided into 24 subfaults, and the slip on each subfault was determined by the tsunami waveform inversion. The result shows that the largest slip amount of 2.8?m was found at the shallow part and intermediate depth of the rupture area. Large slip amounts were found at the shallow part of the rupture area. The total seismic moment was estimated to be 3.9?×?10²¹?Nm (M_w 8.3). The 2006 Kurile earthquake occurred right next to the location of the 1963 earthquake, and no seismic gap exists between the source areas of the 1963 and 2006 earthquakes.

Fracture Characters and Seismogenic Fault of the Yajiang Earthquake Sequence with Ms6.0 in Sichuan in 2001

The Yajiang earthquake sequence in 2001, with the major events of Ms5.1 on Feb. 14 and of Ms6.0 on Feb.23, are significant events in the Sichuan region during the last 13 years. Eighty-eight earthquakes in the sequence with at least 5 distinct onset parameters for each recorded by the Sichuan Seismic Network in the period of Jan. 1 through June 30,2001 were chosen for this study. The events are relocated and the focal mechanism is derived from P-wave onsets for 13 events with relatively larger magnitudes. The focal depth of all earthquakes fall between a range of 2km to 16km, with dominant distribution between 9km to 11km. Theforeshocks, the Ms5.1 earthquake and the Ms6.0 earthquake and their aftershocks are all located close to the Zihe fault and the dominant epicentral distribution is in NW direction, identical to that of the fault. The fracture surface of the focal mechanism is determined in accordance to the mass transfer orientation in the recent earth deformation field in the Yajiang region. The P axes of the principal compressive stress in focal mechanism solutions of the 13 events show bigger vertical components, and the horizontal projection trending SE. The earthquakes are of left-lateral, strike-slip normal, and normal strike-slip types. The rupture surface of most earthquakes strike NW-SE, dipping SW. Based on the above information, we conclude that the Zihe fault that crosses the earthquake area, striking NW and dipping SW, is the seismogenic fault for the Yajiang earthquake sequence.

基于InSAR形变观测反演2015年皮山MS6.5地震滑动分布

2015年7月3日在新疆皮山县发生了M_S6.5地震, 该地震使当地遭受了巨大的经济损失。 本文利用欧空局提供的Sentinel-1A卫星差分干涉数据对该地震的震源机制情况进行了反演研究, 首先运用两轨法对卫星雷达影像进行差分干涉处理, 获取了覆盖皮山地震震区的同震形变场, 然后利用弹性半空间的均匀滑动模型反演获取了发震断层的几何参数, 并对原始观测数据进行降采样处理, 在此基础上运用分布式滑动模型反演获取了更为精细的断层滑动分布, 结果显示分布式滑动模型与观测结果有很高的拟合度。 反演结果表明发震断层是一个以逆冲为主兼有极少量左旋走滑的盲断层, 此次地震断层面的同震活动分布主要集中在7~15 km深度范围内, 同震的地震矩为6.28×10¹⁸N·m, 矩震级为M_W6.46, 与前人的研究结果非常一致。

Strong motion records and synthetic isoseismals of the Pyrgos,Peloponnisos, Southern Greece,Earthquake Sequence of March 26, 1993

In this work, several seismological observations are presented in order to explain characteristic features of the earthquake sequence which occurred in March 1993 in southwestern Greece, very close to the city of Pyrgos.Fault plane solutions of the largest fore- and aftershocks and the main shock, as well as the directions at which the maximum ground accelerations were recorded suggest that this earthquake sequence has been developed by rupturing three distinct focal planes with different focal mechanisms. The first focal plane, located in the off-shore area, strikes NW-SE, dips SE and includes most of the foreshock activity. The foreshock activity migrated to the northeastern part of the city of Pyrgos and took place on planes with a predominant direction NE-SW. The main shock ofM _x =5.5 occurred in a focal plane located between the two above-mentioned areas. Strong motion records of significant shocks of the sequence show peak acceleration values on components consistent with the relevant fault plane solutions.Furthermore, the observed macroseismic field has been compared with synthetic isoseismals computed by using a certain velocity model and the focal mechanism parameters of the main shock.     

以克罗地亚MS6.4地震为例检验震前应力集中现象

为检验大震发生之前是否有应力集中现象,本研究以2020年克罗地亚MS6.4地震及其序列为例,采用比较地震序列的震源机制之间最小空间旋转角的方法来研究应力变化关系.最终发现,主震发生前的一段时间内,该地区发生的不同地震之间的震源机制中心解有趋近主震震源机制中心解的趋势;主震之后,余震的震源机制和主震震源机制之间的差别逐渐增大,并离散开来.此变化趋势一方面是对"应力集中和应变能释放"假说的印证,另一方面则间接说明了该地区的应力分布.由于此次大地震的发生而进行了局部调整,致使局部应力集中趋于平缓,该地区的区域构造板块或许开始进入到下一个应力积累阶段.     

3-D P-wave Velocity Structure in Western Greece Determined from Tomography Using Earthquake Data Recorded at the University of Patras Seismic Network (PATNET)

—The 3-D P-wave velocity structure of the upper crust in the region of western Greece is investigated by inversion of about 1500 residuals of P-wave arrival times from local earthquake data recorded in the year 1996 by the newly established University of Patras Seismic Network (PATNET). The resulting velocity structure shows strong horizontal variations due to the complicated structure and the variation of crustal thickness. Relatively low-velocity contours are observed in the area defined by Cephallonia—Zakynthos Islands and northwestern Peloponnesos. This is in addition to some well localized peaks of relatively higher values of P-wave velocity may be related to the zone of Triassic evaporites in the region and correspond to diapirism that breaks through to the uppermost layer. Finally, a low P-velocity ‘deeping’ zone extending from Zakynthos to the Gulf of Patras is correlated with Bouguer anomaly map and onshore and offshore borehole drillings which indicate that thick sediments overly the evaporites which exist there at depth greater than 2 km.     

Hierarchical Clustering Analysis of Focal Mechanism Solutions, Taking the Haicheng Earthquake Sequence as an Example

The currently used methods for analyzing a number of focal mechanism solutions are often ineffective for large samples.With the aid of the basic concept of hierarchical clustering methods for pattern recognition and in combination with the expression of focal mechanism solutions themselves,the sum of the angle between P-axes and the angle between T-axes of 2 solutions is defined as a distance,and a software for hierarchical clustering analysis by the shortest distance method and longest distance method is compiled.The number of types in the clustering results can be determined in accordance with different requirements.For focal mechanism solutions of the same type,the average position of each stress axis can be calculated by the method of vector composition and thereby the spatial orientation of the average focal mechanism solution can be determined.In order to test the feasibility and reliability of the software,hierarchical clustering analyses are made for the focal mechanism solutions of 24 earthquak
