From: Strong ground motion simulations of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes using corrected empirical Green’s functions: methods and results for ESG6 blind prediction Steps 2 and 3 with improved parameters

 

Number of cases

Description

Lateral location of the subevents

12

2 for subevent 1 and 6 for subevents 2 and 3

Depths of the subevents

4

Shallow and deep cases for subevent 1 and subevents 2 and 3, respectively

Deep cases are as shown in Fig. 11. In shallow cases, subevents were moved by 5 km along the dip

Rupture starting point

3

Ruptures from south, center, and north were considered. Center cases start at the hypocenter of the mainshock

Dip angle
