Table 1 Structural parameters for the thrust model

From: Rheological profile across the NE Japan interplate megathrust in the source region of the 2011 M_w9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquake

	Distance	Depth	Thickness (km)					θ ^a
	(km)	(km)	SW	UC1	UC2	LC	MW	(deg)
o	0	7.5	7.5	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0	-
a	30	10.0	5.0	5.0	0.0	0.0	0.0	5.5
b	80	15.0	2.0	5.0	8.0	0.0	0.0	6.7
c	120	21.5	1.5	5.0	8.0	7.0	0.0	11.1
d	145	27.0	1.0	5.0	8.0	7.0	6.0	16.7
e	200	50.0	0.0	5.0	10.0	15.0	20.0	25.3

^aTo determine θ, the positions of the reference points a to e were fitted by a sixth polynomial function. Symbols are explained in Figure2.
