Two-dimensional contour maps of the cost function when slip velocities are assimilated. Cost functions are calculated as functions of (A5, A5–B5), (A5, L5), and (A5–B5, L5), while all the other frictional parameters are fixed to a their optimum values and b true values. Stars indicate the locations of a the optimum values and b the true values. The contour intervals are set to be 10 for (A5, A5–B5) and 40 for (A5, L5) and (A5–B5, L5)
