Simulation results on the vertical cross-sections parallel to the plate convergence direction, going through seafloor stations. a Displacement in the A–A′ profile with MYGW and MYGI and b decomposition into contribution from viscoelastic relaxation and afterslip. c Displacement in the B–B′ profile, which is parallel to A–A′ and runs by the station FUKU and d decomposition into contribution from viscoelastic relaxation and afterslip. The figures on the left are for the total displacement after 2.8 years. The panels on the right show the contribution from elastic deformation due to afterslip and viscoelastic flow after 2.8 years. The color indicates the distribution of effective viscosity in the Maxwell element shortly after the earthquake. The black arrows on the horizontal dashed line are the observed displacements. In the location of purple circles, observation data shows uplift, while in the green circles, computed uplift viscoelastic displacement is canceled out by subsidence due to afterslip
