Objective detection of long-term slow slip events along the Nankai Trough using GNSS data (1996–2016)
This paper presents a method for objective detection of long-term slow slip events with durations on the order of years, on the plate boundary along the Nankai Trough, relying on global navigation satellite system daily coordinate data. The Chugoku region of Japan was held fixed to remove common mode errors, and a displacement component was calculated relative to the direction of plate subducti...
متن کاملA linked stress release model for historical Japanese earthquakes: coupling among major seismic regions
A linked stress release model is proposed for the analysis of spatial interaction of earthquake occurrences through stress transfer within a large area of the Earth’s crust. As an example, the model is used for statistical analysis for the Japanese historical earthquakes in central Japan and offshore in the Nankai and Sagami troughs with magnitude M ≥ 6.5 during the period from 1400 to 1997. Th...
متن کاملThe possibility of deeper or shallower extent of the source area of Nankai Trough earthquakes based on the 1707 Hoei tsunami heights along the Pacific and Seto Inland Sea coasts, southwest Japan
To validate the abundance of scenarios of large earthquakes in the Nankai Trough, we examined the effects of both lateral and vertical expansions of the source areas on maximum tsunami heights along the Pacific coast and Seto Inland Sea. The recently proposed Nankai Trough earthquake scenario (Mw = 9) has a maximum slip of 20 m near the trough axis. However, the predicted tsunami heights exceed...
متن کاملNear-trench slip potential of megaquakes evaluated from fault properties and conditions
Near-trench slip during large megathrust earthquakes (megaquakes) is an important factor in the generation of destructive tsunamis. We proposed a new approach to assessing the near-trench slip potential quantitatively by integrating laboratory-derived properties of fault materials and simulations of fault weakening and rupture propagation. Although the permeability of the sandy Nankai Trough ma...
متن کاملEstimation and Analysis of Precipitable Water Vapor Using GPS Data and Satellite Altimeter
Determination of water vapor in the atmosphere plays an important role in forecasting weather conditions and precipitation studies. For this reason, it is very important to study the tropospheric delay, especially the wet component, which is due to the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere. In this paper, the amount of water vapor was estimated by altimeter satellite radiometer and GPS data...
