Comparison of GFs, i.e., surface displacements due to a unit dislocation on a subfault, between the IE and HE models. (a) GFs (horizontal components) against subfault#050 which is located almost at the center of the area where the afterslip distributions are different between these two models. (b) Same as (a), but against subfault#221 located in the area where the afterslip distributions for these two models are almost same. Note that the displacement vectors shown in (b) for the IE and HE models at each point are not distinguishable from each other since they are almost identical. Approximate locations of subfault#050 and subfault#221 are also indicated with small squares.
