Hydro-Acoustic Wave Generation during the Tohoku-Oki 2011 Earthquake
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the surface gravity and hydro-acoustic wave fields, generated by the 2011 Tohoku-Oki tsunamigenic event using a numerical model based on a computationally efficient depth-integrated equations for a compressible water column coupled to a dissipative sedimentary layers. Spectral analysis of bottom pressure time series obtained in deep water revealed the role of underlying layer on the formation of hydro-acoustic waves and carrying frequency range, damping and trapping behaviors. The presented methodology can enhance the promptness and the accuracy of tsunami early warning systems (TEWS).

Possible scenarios for occurrence of M ~ 7 interplate earthquakes prior to and following the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake based on numerical simulation
We show possible scenarios for the occurrence of M ~ 7 interplate earthquakes prior to and following the M ~ 9 earthquake along the Japan Trench, such as the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. One such M ~ 7 earthquake is so-called the Miyagi-ken-Oki earthquake, for which we conducted numerical simulations of earthquake generation cycles by using realistic three-dimensional (3D) geometry of the subduc...
متن کاملTime-lapse change in anisotropy in Japan’s near surface after the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake
[1] We apply seismic interferometry to strong-motion records to detect the near-surface (i.e., an upper few hundred meters deep) change in anisotropy caused by the MW 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake on 11 March 2011. We show that the earthquake increased the difference between fast and slow shear-wave velocities arising from shear-wave splitting in most parts of northeastern Japan, but it did not sig...
متن کاملNear‐surface weakening in Japan after the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake
The magnitude (MW ) 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake on 11 March 2011 was one of the largest in recent history. Ground motion caused by the seismicity around the time of the main shock was recorded by KiK-net, the strong-motion network that covers most of Japan. By deconvolving waveforms generated by earthquakes that are recorded at the surface and in a borehole at KiK-net station FKSH18, we detect a ...
متن کاملClues from joint inversion of tsunami and geodetic data of the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake
The 2011 Tohoku-oki (Mw 9.1) earthquake is so far the best-observed megathrust rupture, which allowed the collection of unprecedented offshore data. The joint inversion of tsunami waveforms (DART buoys, bottom pressure sensors, coastal wave gauges, and GPS-buoys) and static geodetic data (onshore GPS, seafloor displacements obtained by a GPS/acoustic combination technique), allows us to retriev...
متن کاملStructural heterogeneity in the megathrust zone and mechanism
[1] The great 2011 Tohoku‐oki earthquake (Mw 9.0) and its 339 foreshocks and 5,609 aftershocks (9–27 March 2011) were relocated using a three‐dimensional seismic velocity model and local P and S wave arrival times. The distribution of relocated hypocenters was compared with a tomographic image of the Northeast Japan forearc. The comparison indicates that the rupture nucleation of the largest ev...
