Fig. 3From: Potential of megathrust earthquakes along the southern Ryukyu Trench inferred from GNSS dataEstimation of slip deficit rates (SDR) and comparison with observations. a Spatial distribution of SDRs and b their estimation error. c Same as a but only for subfaults whose SDR is greater than the estimation error shown. Note that the additional subfaults imposing zero SDR are shown only in a. The solid and dashed lines are the Ryukyu Trench and the depth contours of the upper surface of the subducting PH with an interval of 10 km (Slab 2) (Hayes et al. 2018). d Calculated distance changes and e residual distance changes. f Calculated and g residual vertical velocitiesBack to article page
