13 Waveform Modeling Procedures 1. Dynamic response of the lower atmosphere up to an altitude of 220 km ( the standard ARDC model) to a surface source and receiver: Spectral amplitude response Aj(ω) and phase velocity Spectral amplitude response Aj(ω) and phase velocity Cj(ω) for gravity and acoustic modes (j=1~4) Cj(ω) for gravity and acoustic modes (j=1~4) 2. Earthquake source parameters: 1) Source locations and dimensions of the uplifted and 1) Source locations and dimensions of the uplifted and subsided regions, Lj, Wj (j=1~8) subsided regions, Lj, Wj (j=1~8) 2) Source spreading velocity v r (rupture velocity on the fault) 2) Source spreading velocity v r (rupture velocity on the fault) 3) Average displacements Dj of uplift and subsidence 3) Average displacements Dj of uplift and subsidence (j=1~8) (j=1~8) 4) Rise time of the displacements τ 4) Rise time of the displacements τ

29 Summary 1. Very low-frequency (~0.0016 Hz) acoustic-gravity waves with a group velocity around 305~315 m/s can be identified on the records at a few high-sensitivity microbarograph stations including Matsushiro, Kamioka,Diego Garcia (IS52) and possibly Palau (IS39), (up to a maximum distance of ~5.500 km). 2. We attempt to model synthetic barogram waveform to the stations, on the basis of dynamic response of the lower atmosphere with the ARDC standard thermal structure up to an altitude of 220 km,taking into account seismic information. For this modeling, we incorporate the spreading velocity of the source region, the source dimensions of subdivided zones, the vertical displacement ofground and sea-surface uplift and subsidence and their rise times.

30 Preliminary Conclusions Preliminary Conclusions 1. Some combinations of these source parameters provide the synthetic waveforms well consistent with the general the synthetic waveforms well consistent with the general features of the observed low-frequency records. features of the observed low-frequency records. 2. The results suggest that the uplift in the south-central Nicobar region may be more than a few times larger than that in the other regions, and also that the northern half of the entire region Nicobar region may be more than a few times larger than that in the other regions, and also that the northern half of the entire region appears to contribute only a small portion to the generation of the observed acoustic-gravity waves. appears to contribute only a small portion to the generation of the observed acoustic-gravity waves. 3. The time constant for generating these waves may be shorter than a few minutes, as in the case of the 1964 shorter than a few minutes, as in the case of the 1964 Alaskan earthquake (Mw=9.0) Alaskan earthquake (Mw=9.0)
