Fig. 5

Source model of mainshock. a Spatial distribution of final slips on fault plane with contour interval of 1.0 m. Arrow shows slip vector of hanging wall relative to foot wall. Open star indicates hypocenter or rupture starting point. Dashed lines represent boundaries of fault segments #1 and #2. b Obtained moment-rate function for each subfault. c Comparison of observed velocity waveforms (black traces) and synthetic velocity waveforms (red traces). Velocity waveforms were bandpass-filtered from 0.05 to 0.5 Hz. Waveform amplitudes were normalized by the maximum observed amplitude. Maximum observed amplitude of each component is shown above each trace in centimeters per second. EW east–west, NS north–south, UD up–down
