1 EARLY-EST EArthquake Rapid Location sYstem with EStimation of Tsunamigenesis Alberto Michelini and Anthony Lomax

2 How did this all start ? After Sumatra M9.2 2004 earthquake: ➡ necessary to develop techniques for rapid size quantification of large and mega earthquakes (i.e., the existing saturate and the GCMT is too slow) After the Java M7.7 2006 tsunami earthquake: ➡ rapid quantification of tsunami potential

3 M w CMT M wp P-wave methods saturate for events larger than M w ≈7.5 interplate thrust events ▼ tsunami earthquakes ■ other event types ♦ M wp magnitudes (Tsuboi et al., 1995, 1999) compared to CMT magnitude M w CMT for 79 recent, large earthquakes.

19 Summary Location and initial evidence of M~8: ~3’ First magnitude > 8 (mB & Mwp): ~4’ First indication of large tsunami potential (Td>9): ~5’ Strong indication of very large tsunami potential (Td T50Ex = 36.4 >> 9): ~7’ First indication of very large magnitude (M~9) and long rupture duration (T0>130s): ~9’ First Mwpd=8.5: 11’ Evidence of large magnitude (Mwpd=8.7) and great rupture extension (T0 ~170s): 13’ First robust estimations of magnitude (Mwpd=8.8) and rupture duration (170-175s): 15’

20 Ingredients Location Mwpd (extension of Mwp with duration) T0 (rupture duration from band-passed 1-5 Hz broadband seismograms on P- wave train) T50Ex (proxy of T0 determined at 55s from P-onset) Td (dominant period on P-wave) Td x T50Ex

21 Location from continuos streams obtained from many seedlink servers in real-time association and location are done simultaneously and continuously by stacking the detected phases on a variable grid of potential earthquake location points Avails of a fully probabilistic approach and it is a direct search methodology derived from NonLinLoc

22 Mwpd essentially an extension of Mwp in which the duration of the rupture is accounted for (i.e., the displacement seismograms are integrated by considering all signal within the rupture duration T0)

23 T0 The duration T0 calculated from 1-5 Hz BB records can be interpreted as the duration of the rupture on the fault

24 Moment M 0 From far­field, P­displacement u(t), for an earthquake source of rupture duration, T 0, Estimate of Moment M 0 Duration-Amplitude Equations Estimate of Magnitude M w (Hanks and Kanamori, 1979; Bormann, 2002)

25 M wpd and high-frequency, apparent rupture duration T 0 velocity seismogram 1.5 Hz, HF seismogram ground-displacement T 0 estimate: HF envelope M 0 estimate: integral of displacement over duration T 0 M wpd processing steps: 12 September 2007, M8.4 Sumatra (Lomax & Michelini 2009A) Duration HF Rupture Duration, T 0 Amplitude T0T0 M wpd (8.5) OT+8-15min M wp 2 min

26 M w CMT M wpd Raw M wpd compared to M w CMT for 79 recent, large earthquakes. Duration-amplitude magnitude M wpd interplate thrust events ▼ tsunami earthquakes ■ other event types ♦ Raw M wpd underestimates M w CMT for largest interplate thrust and tsunami earthquakes

27 M w CMT M wpd (moment scaled) interplate thrust events ▼ tsunami earthquakes ■ other event types ♦ M 0 cutoff ≈7.5x10 19 N-m (equivalent to M w ≈ 7.2 ) Comparison of M w CMT with M wpd corrected with moment scaling for interplate thrust and tsunami earthquakes. Duration-amplitude magnitude M wpd with moment scaling σ = 0.11 m.u.

28 Implications of moment scaling: large earthquake rupture destructive interference of pP or sP waves with down-going P waves less mass in upper plate Moment scaling → deficiency in down-going (teleseismic) amplitude and energy trapped energy... re-absorbed at rupture front? helps to drives rupture?

29 T50Ex Rapid estimation on whether T0 exceeds 50 s

31 broadband HF 1-5Hz broadband HF 1-5Hz Exceedance level T 0 >55s T50Ex ≡ T50/Ar (rms) Ar(rms) 50s Near real-time, direct assessment of tsunami potential 2006, M w 7.7, T 0 =180s, I t =19 Indonesia tsunami earthquake 2009, M w 7.6, T 0 =39 s, I t =1 Tonga Islands T d ∙T 0 discriminant → T d ∙T50Ex discriminant → event completed at OT+6-10m

34 Td T0 Product between dominant period of the P-wave train and high-frequency duration in the real-time system Td T50Ex is used
