Extended Data Fig. 10: Comparing the transient surface motions recorded by GNSS and predicted by fluid-loading models before the Maule earthquake.
From: Months-long thousand-kilometre-scale wobbling before great subduction earthquakes
The map shows the GNSS station locations used in the analysis comparing fluid-loading displacement predictions to GNSS displacement measurements for the pre-Maule case. The time series show a comparison of the median velocity variations for GNSS-measured and fluid-loading-predicted displacements at the locations in the map. Velocities are taken from the trends estimated by GrAtSiD. In the East component (in which the pre-Maule unstable motion is most pronounced) the prediction from fluid loading produces much lower deviation from steady-state velocities than those observed by GNSS.
