Centroid moment solutions for the Tohoku earthquake, from left, (a), to right, (d): manually determined rCMT solution 23 minutes after origin time (depth 24 km, Mw 8.9); fully automatic rCMT sent out 33 minutes after origin time (depth 24 km, Mw 8.9); final rCMT determined 12 hours after origin time (using all available waveform data; depth 20 km, Mw 9.0); gCMT solution (depth 20 km, Mw 9.1). Also shown are the strike, dip and slip of the plane of the best fitting double couple that corresponds to the fault plane.
