Figure 5

Waveform data used for the moment tensor inversion (11 May 2010 22:58 event). Synthetic (red, dashed) and observed (black, solid) waveforms used for moment tensor inversion for vertical (Z), transverse (T), and radial (R) components of the 11 May 2010 22:58 event. The applied alignment time correction is indicated by the number next to the seismogram. It spans from 0.0 s for near stations to −12.0 s for distant stations. The epicentral distance of the station is shown beneath the station name. A variance versus depth diagram from the moment tensor inversion yields the optimum solution as a clear minimum (red focal mechanism) at 18 km depth. The large black beach ball shows the solution from First Motion Polarities of the same event, compare the mechanism to the one derived from waveform inversion to its right. Black dots inside the FMP beach ball denote positive P polarity picks, white dots are negative ones.
