Joint inversion of strong motion and geodetic data for the source process of the 2003 Tokachi-oki, Hokkaido, earthquake. Koketsu, K., Hikima, K., Miyazaki, S., & Ide, S. Earth Planets Space, 56(3):329--334, 2004.
abstract   bibtex   
The strong motion and geodetic data were individually inverted for the source process of the 2003 Tokachi-oki, Hokkaido, earthquake with a hypocenter 25 km deep and a fault plane above the subducting Pacific stab. Both the results show a simple slip distribution with a single major asperity, but the strong motion inversion may include a trade-off between slip location and rupture time and the geodetic inversion does not have sufficient resolution for far slips. We then carred out a joint inversion of the two datasets in order to overcome these weaknesses of the single dataset inversions. The resultant slip distribution still retains the simple pattern and has a seismic moment of 2.2 x 10(21) N(.)m (M-w 8.2). The asperity, with a peak slip of 7.1 m, is located in the center of the fault plane 50 km away from the hypocenter in the down-dip direction. The slip rate functions on subfaults around the hypocenter and asperity indicate that the rupture propagated with a supershear speed on the upper part of the fault plane and slowed down to 100-90percent of the S-wave velocity on the middle and lower parts. These simple slip patterns and near-supershear rupture may imply the maturity of the Hokkaido subduction zone around the source region.
