Fig. 15From: Using a grid-search approach to validate the Graves–Pitarka broadband simulation methodSame as the bottom row of Fig. 12 except here I plot fRV0, which are the input values prior to any mechanism adjustment. The open symbols are the fRV values then used in the rupture generator, and are determined by dividing the fRV0 by the mechanism scaling factor aT (Eq. 8). Note that the adjustment is negligible for primarily strike-slip events (dip \(\ge\) 75°) so the open symbols for these events plot beneath the filled symbolsBack to article page
