Fig. 2.From: Mitigating artifacts in back-projection source imaging with implications for frequency-dependent properties of the Tohoku-Oki earthquakeSwimming effect in the 2D array response of the USArray (left two columns) and European array (right two columns) at frequencies of 1, 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 Hz, with a color-coded array response normalized by its maximum, the white circle indicates the epicenter and a black star indicates the location of the maximum array response. Note that the swimming effect intensifies as the frequency decreases as in the 1D case, but the maximum swims in a direction that combines the longer axis of the array response and the source-to-array direction.Back to article page
