The incidence angles also correspond to the location of the maximum slip deduced by Kubo et al. (2016).
The main discrepancy lies in the location of the maximum slip, which occurs at a much shallower depth in our model than in that of Ji and Hayes.
Previous studies reported that the location of the maximum slip of the coseis-mic and postseismic areas is not in the same place.
The source inversion result shows that the maximum slip area of the M7.3 event was close to this location (Kubo et al. 2016).
The maximum slip area of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake is located along MY102.
According to the detailed slip distribution on the fault plane, the major slip area was south of the main shock in a shallow area and the estimated maximum slip is as large as 5 m. Figure 10 shows the comparison of V p perturbation distribution and location of large coseismic slip.
The average slip (relative motion) between the two plates during the earthquake was approximately 5 m (16 ft), and the maximum slip was approximately 20 m (66 ft).
The maximum slip amount is 38 m.
This model is based on three parameters: maximum bond stress, slip at maximum bond stress, and maximum slip.
