用1Hz GPS观测数据推导中强震震源过程的能力:2008年日本岩手—宫城内陆地震例子

通过反演研究2008年日本岩手—宫城内陆地震（M～6.9）,说明了用1Hz全球定位系统（GPS）观测数据推导中强震（M6级）震源过程的能力。比较了此次地震采样率为1Hz的GPS观测波形,发现与强震仪记录波形有很好的一致性。由于震源区及其周围有足够多的GPS台站很好地记录到了地面运动,因而使我们仅仅采用1Hz的GPS观测数据就可进行波形反演。反演的结果与大地测量和强震仪数据联合反演的结果相当一致,如地震矩（Mw～6.9）、累积滑动量分布和破裂传播等。这种一致性证明,采样率为1Hz的GPS观测数据不仅能用来推导M6级中强震破裂过程的动态特征,而且能用来推导其持久（或静态）的滑动。  相似文献   

CMT data inversion using a Bayesian information criterion to estimate seismogenic stress fields     

Toshiko Terakawa  Mitsuhiro Matsu'ura 《Geophysical Journal International》2008,172(2):674-685

We developed an inversion method to estimate the stress fields related to earthquake generation (seismogenic stress fields) from the centroid moment tensors (CMT) of seismic events by using Akaike's Bayesian information criterion (ABIC). On the idea that the occurrence of an earthquake releases some part of the seismogenic stress field around its hypocentre, we define the CMT of a seismic event by a weighted volume integral of the true but unknown seismogenic stress field. Representing each component of the seismogenic stress field by the superposition of a finite number of 3-D basis functions (tri-cubic B-splines), we obtain a set of linear observation equations to be solved for the expansion coefficients (model parameters). We introduce prior constraint on the roughness of the seismogenic stress field and combine it with observed data to construct a Bayesian model with hierarchic, highly flexible structure controlled by hyper-parameters. The optimum values of the hyper-parameters are objectively determined form observed data by using ABIC. Given the optimum values of the hyper-parameters, we can obtain the best estimates of model parameters by using a maximum likelihood algorithm. We tested the validity of the inversion method through numerical experiments on two synthetic CMT data sets, assuming the distribution of fault orientations to be aligned with the maximum shear stress plane in one case and to be random in the other case. Then we applied the inversion method to actual CMT data in northeast Japan, and obtained the pattern of the seismogenic stress field consistent with geophysical and geological observations.  相似文献   

Evolution of Mount Fuji,Japan: Inference from drilling into the subaerial oldest volcano,pre‐Komitake     

Mitsuhiro Yoshimoto  Toshitsugu Fujii  Takayuki Kaneko  Atsushi Yasuda  Setsuya Nakada  Akikazu Matsumoto 《Island Arc》2010,19(3):470-488

A buried, old volcanic body (pre‐Komitake Volcano) was discovered during drilling into the northeastern flank of Mount Fuji. The pre‐Komitake Volcano is characterized by hornblende‐bearing andesite and dacite, in contrast to the porphyritic basaltic rocks of Komitake Volcano and to the olivine‐bearing basaltic rocks of Fuji Volcano. K‐Ar age determinations and geological analysis of drilling cores suggest that the pre‐Komitake Volcano began with effusion of basaltic lava flows around 260 ka and ended with explosive eruptions of basaltic andesite and dacite magma around 160 ka. After deposition of a thin soil layer on the pre‐Komitake volcanic rocks, successive effusions of lava flows occurred at Komitake Volcano until 100 ka. Explosive eruptions of Fuji Volcano followed shortly after the activity of Komitake. The long‐term eruption rate of about 3 km³/ka or more for Fuji Volcano is much higher than that estimated for pre‐Komitake and Komitake. The chemical variation within Fuji Volcano, represented by an increase in incompatible elements at nearly constant SiO₂, differs from that within pre‐Komitake and other volcanoes in the northern Izu‐Bonin arc, where incompatible elements increase with increasing SiO₂. These changes in the volcanism in Mount Fuji may have occurred due to a change in regional tectonics around 150 ka, although this remains unproven.  相似文献   

P–T–t paths and post-metamorphic exhumation of the Day Nui Con Voi shear zone in Vietnam     

Tran Ngoc Nam  Mitsuhiro Toriumi  Tetsumaru Itaya 《Tectonophysics》1998,290(3-4):299-318

The Day Nui Con Voi belt in Vietnam is the southeasternmost part of the Red River shear zone in Asia. It is a narrow high-grade metamorphic core complex consisting of garnet–sillimanite–biotite gneisses, mylonite bands, amphibolite layers and migmatites. Geothermobarometric study of the complex revealed that the peak metamorphism took place under amphibolite-facies conditions of 690₋₆₀⁺³⁰°C and 0.65±0.15 GPa and the subsequent mylonitization occurred under greenschist-facies conditions of 480°C and under 0.3 GPa. Fifteen synkinematic hornblende and biotite separates from gneisses, amphibolites and mylonites were dated with the K/Ar method. Hornblende separates from the Day Nui Con Voi give K–Ar ages of 26.4–28.5 Ma, and the biotite separates do give 24.5–24.7 Ma. Combination of thermobarometric and geochronological data yields the cooling history of 500°C at 28 Ma and 300°C at 24 Ma with a cooling rate of 70–110°C Ma⁻¹, and 23 km post-metamorphic exhumation of the core complex. The first 16 km exhumation from the peak of metamorphism (at probably 31 Ma) to 28 Ma was triggered by the left-lateral strike-slip displacement of the Red River shear zone.  相似文献

Mechanism of the seasonal transport variation through the Tokara Strait     

M. Kubota  H. Yokota  T. Okamoto 《Journal of Oceanography》1995,51(4):441-458

To investigate an mechanism of the seasonal variation of transport through the Tokara Strait, two numerical experiments with real geometry and wind forcing were carried out. The models are linear barotropic models which are a North Pacific Ocean model and a limited-area model with a fine grid. The seasonal variation of volume transport with a maximum in the summer and a minimum in the autumn could be well reproduced by both models. The results demonstrate the wind stress component normal to a gradient vector of bottom topography is crucial for determining the seasonal variation. The similar seasonal variation widely covers the East China Sea and has a large amplitude near the Tokara Strait. Finally, it can be concluded that winds north of 35°N have little influence on the seasonal response of our model at the Tokara Strait.  相似文献

A mechanism of shape-transformation of quartz inclusions in albite of regional metamorphic rocks     

Mitsuhiro Toriumi 《Lithos》1979,12(4):325-333

The process of shape-transformation of quartz inclusions from polyhedral to spherical grains in albite single crystals during metamorphism is mainly controlled by the grain boundary diffusion of oxygen along the quartz/albite interface to reduce the interfacial free energy. The rate of the process, which is represented by the growth rate of the curvature of the edge surface of the grain, depends significantly on temperature and on the grain size of the quartz inclusion. The relations between temperature, T, the time, t_r, and the critical radius, R_c, which is equal to the radius of maximum spherical grains, are given by log R_c = −0.11E_b/RT + 0.25log t_r + C, in which E_b is the activation energy of the grain boundary diffusion of oxygen along the quartz/albite interface and C is a material constant.

The mean critical radius of spherical quartz inclusions in albite is 5 μm for the upper chlorite zone and garnet zone, 10 μm for the lower biotite zone, and 20 μm for the upper biotite zone in the Sambagawa metamorphic terrain. The mean values of the critical radii of spherical quartz inclusions in oligoclase of the Ryoke metamorphic rocks is about 5 μm for the chlorite zone and about 10–20 μm for the sillimanite zone.

Assuming temperatures of about 350°C for the upper chlorite and garnet zones, 400°C for the lower biotite zone, 550°C for the upper biotite zone, and 700°C for the sillimanite zone, the activation energy for the grain boundary diffusion of oxygen along the quartz/plagioclase interfase is estimated to be about 30 kcal/mol.  相似文献
