(a) Slip distribution for the aftershock 1 to the north. The black, green and blues contours represent slip, its error and depth of the plate interface. The interval of slip contour is 10 cm. The error contour is 10 cm. The black, green and blue contours represent slip, standard deviation of slip and depth of the plate interface. Note that error is scaled by the misfit. Error is larger in the inside of the contour, and is low near the trench because the slip there is constrained to be small. The maximum value of error is 19 cm. The asterisk indicates the epicenter. (b) Similar figure for the aftershock 2 to the south. The interval of slip contour is 1.0 m. The error contour is 0.75 m. The maximum value of error is 1.0 m. (c) Fit to horizontal displacement data. Black and red arrows represent observed and predicted displacements.
