Fig. 3

From: The Mw 7.9, 12 May 2008 Sichuan earthquake rupture measured by sub-pixel correlation of ALOS PALSAR amplitude images

Fig. 3

Offsets in the azimuth direction (azimuth streaks reduced). Our interpretation of the rupture is plotted in white. Dark dashed lines represent possible rupture segments not yet observed in the field. The inset represents the PALSAR acquisition geometry relative to our case study. Colour scaled arrows indicate the slant range and azimuth direction of the measured offset relative to the rupture position. This is a key to interpret the sense of displacement in Figs. 2 and 3. γ = sight angle (34°), θ = angle between the rupture strike and azimuth direction (65°).
