The following broadband stations passed the QC and were used for the source inversion. AAK ABPO ADK ANTO ARU BFO BILL BRVK CASY CTAO ERM GRFO GUMO INCN KBL KBS KEV KIV KMBO KONO KURK LSZ MA2 MAJO MBWA MORC MSKU NWAO OBN PAB PET SNZO TATO TIXI TLY WRAB 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
# 3 120 40 6.8 =< Mw < 7.2
# 4 143 80 7.2 =< Mw < 9.3
#####
# Source duration - halfwidth of triangular function
# this filters only the Green functions
#
# halfwidth = 1.05 * 10-8 * M0^1/3 (M0 is dyne-cm)
#
# MW half-width (sec)
# 5.0 0.75
# 6.0 2.45
# 7.0 7.7
# 8.0 24.5
# 9.0 74.3
# 0.5*(MW - 9)
# or half-width=74.3*10
# or echo 5.82 | awk '{print 74.3*exp(0.5*log(10.0)*(0300 - 9.0)) }'
#####
# Processing window for P (use SAC variable A for P arrival
# Start A - 30
# End A + 2*HALFWIDTH + 0.03*HS + 30 + 1/FH
# Processing window for SH (use SAC variable T0 for SH arrival
# Start T0 - 60
# End T0 + 2*HALFWIDTH + 0.06*HS + 30 + 1/FH
# Processing window for SV (use SAC variable T1 for SV arrival
# Start T1 - 60
# End T1 + 2*HALFWIDTH + 0.06*HS + 30 + 1/FH
#
# The term involving HS serves to include the depth phases and
# 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 map displays the distribution of stations used for this source inversion.
