Figure 6

Summary of sensitivity and reproducibility test results. (a) Schematic map of the study area. The lines indicate the top of the model planes. The star is the epicentre used for the inversion. The inset shows a cross section along B–B′, and the lines show the model domains. In (bf), potency-rate density evolution (contour interval 0.05 m/s) is projected along A–A′; distance is relative to the epicentre. (b) Our optimal solution obtained using a vertical model plane (i.e. the same as Fig. 2d). (c) The solution obtained using a plane dipping 70° southwest (strike 133°). (d) The solution obtained using a plane dipping 70° northeast (strike 313°). (e) The solution obtained using a vertical plane and the CRUST2.0 model43. (f) The solution obtained by inverting synthetic waveforms using our optimal solution as input. Beachballs to the right of each panel show the total moment tensors obtained in 5 s time windows. Note that the beachballs are shown as lower hemisphere projections onto the map with north upward. This figure was made with Generic Mapping Tools (v6.2.0)18.
