The following broadband stations passed the QC and were used for the source inversion. AFI BILL BMO CHTO COLA EGAK HAWA INCN KBL KDAK KURK MA2 MAJO MBWA NEW NLWA NWAO PET QSPA SNZO TATO TAU TIXI TLY ULN WRAK WVOR YAK YSS
All observed and Greens function waveforms are corrected to instrument response to ground velocity in meters/sec for the passband of 0.004 - 5 Hz. The traces were then lowpass filtered at 0.25 Hz and interpolated to a sample rate of 1 second.
For the deviatoric moment tensor inversion, the observed traces and Green's functions are read in an cut using the following commands
#####
# Driver script for the teleseismic waveform inversion
#
# The depth HS must be of the form 0010 for a depth of 1.0 km
# of 6700 for a depth of 670.0 km

# The Filter_Band is an integer with the following meansing
#
# FILTER_BAND 1/FH 1/FL
# 1 60 12 for Mw < 6.4
# 2 100 20 6.4 =< Mw < 6.8

#

# to exclude the PP or SS at most distanace
#####
The cut windows attempt to include the P, pP, sP, pS, S and sS arrivals. However, oen must be very careful about the fact that PP may be included in some distance ranges.
The waveforms are then bandpass filtered by the application of the following high- and low-pass stages (an optional microseism filter):
hp c 0.0167 2 lp c 0.0833 2 int br c 0.12 0.25 n 4 p 2The traces were next integrated to ground displacment in meters. Finally the observed data are interpolated to ahve the same sampling at the Green's functions.
The source inversion is a multipass operation since a lower frequency filter band is used for larger earthquakes and since a search is made over depth. Up to three passed of the outer loop are made, after which the moment magnitude is determined and filter settings readjusted. The inner loop over depth samples all depths from 0 to 800 km with 5 km increments in depth to 50 km, followed by 10 km depth sampling for the remaining range.
The following filter ranges are used according to the moment magnitude Mw:
FILTER_BAND 1/FH(s) 1/FL(s)
1 60 12 Mw < 6.4
2 100 20 6.4 < Mw <= 6.9
3 120 40 Mw > 6.9

The cut windows attempt to include the P, pP, sP, pS, S and sS arrivals. However, oen must be very careful about the fact that PP may be included in some distance ranges.
The waveforms are then bandpass filtered by the application of the following high- and low-pass stages (an optional microseism filter):
hp c 0.0167 2 lp c 0.0833 2 int br c 0.12 0.25 n 4 p 2The traces were next integrated to ground displacment in meters. Finally the observed data are interpolated to ahve the same sampling at the Green's functions.
The source inversion is a multipass operation since a lower frequency filter band is used for larger earthquakes and since a search is made over depth. Up to three passed of the outer loop are made, after which the moment magnitude is determined and filter settings readjusted. The inner loop over depth samples all depths from 0 to 800 km with 5 km increments in depth to 50 km, followed by 10 km depth sampling for the remaining range.
The following filter ranges are used according to the moment magnitude Mw:
FILTER_BAND 1/FH(s) 1/FL(s)
1 60 12 Mw < 6.4
2 100 20 6.4 < Mw <= 6.9
3 120 40 Mw > 6.9
The map displays the distribution of stations used for this source inversion.

The following figures show the sensitivity of the goodness of fit parameter so source depth, the waveform comparison as a function of epicentral distance in degrees and the source to station azimuth
|
| Goodness of fit as a function of source depth. The measure is 1 - SUM (o -p)2 / SUM o2. A value of 1.0 is the best fit. The best double couple mechanism for the solution depth is plotted above goodness of fit value to indicate how the mefhanism may change with depth. |

| Comparison of the observed traces (red) and solution predicted traces (blue) ordered in terms of increasing epicentral distance. Each pair of traces is annotated with the station name, epicentral distance in degrees, source to station azimuth in degrees. Each pair of traces is plotted with the same scale and the peak amplitudes are indicated at the lect of each trace. Finally the time shift between the P-wave first arrival picked and the the theoretical P-wave first arrival in the predicted trace is indicated, with a positive sign indicating that the predicted trace has been shifted to the right by the given number of seconds. as a function of source to station azimuth in degrees (D). The purpose of this display is to highlight the azimuthal dependence on the first motion. The traces are annotated with the station name at the top. |
