P-wave inversion model P-MOD2, for the 11 March 2011 Tohoku great earthquake. This model assumed the hypocentral parameters from D. Zhao (personal communication), and allowed the model grid to extend to the furthest up-dip limit of the upper plate in the Japan trench. The focal mechanism is used to show the distribution of stations used in the inversion. The moment rate function is shown on the top right along with the centroid time. The subfault seismic moment values are indicated in the central map, with vectors indicating the average rake direction and relative moment for each subfault, and the inferred slip distribution is shown at the bottom with vectors indicating the relative slip values.
