To improve our understanding of the long-term behavior of low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs) along the tremor belt of the Nankai subduction zone, we applied a matched filter technique to continuous seismic data recorded by a dense and highly sensitive seismic network over an 11-year window, April 2004 to August 2015. We detected a total of ~ 510,000 LFEs, or ~ 23 × the number of LFEs in the JMA catalog for the same period. During long-term slow slip events (SSEs) in the Bungo Channel, a series of migrating LFE bursts intermittently occurred along the fault-strike direction, with slow hypocenter propagation. Elastic energy released by long-term SSEs appears to control the extent of LFE activity. We identify slowly migrating fronts of LFEs during major episodic tremor and slip (ETS) events, which extend over distances of up to 100 km and follow diffusion-like patterns of spatial evolution with a diffusion coefficient of ~ 10 4 m 2 /s. This migration pattern closely matches the spatio-temporal evolution of tectonic tremors reported by previous studies. At shorter distances, up to 15 km, we discovered rapid diffusion-like migration of LFEs with a coefficient of ~ 10 5 m 2 /s. We also recognize that rapid migration of LFEs occurred intermittently in many streaks during major ETS episodes. These observations suggest that slow slip transients contain a multitude of smaller, temporally clustered fault slip events whose evolution is controlled by a diffusional process.

使用匹配滤波器技术探测南海俯冲带11年来的深部低频地震

为了加深我们对南开俯冲带震颤带低频地震 (LFE) 长期行为的理解,我们将匹配滤波器技术应用于由密集且高度敏感的地震网络记录的连续地震数据超过 11年窗口,2004 年 4 月至 2015 年 8 月。我们总共检测到约 510,000 个 LFE,或约 23 × JMA 目录中同期 LFE 的数量。在 Bungo Channel 的长期慢滑事件 (SSE) 期间,一系列迁移的 LFE 爆发沿断层撞击方向间歇性发生,震中传播缓慢。长期 SSE 释放的弹性能量似乎控制着 LFE 活动的程度。我们在主要的偶发性震颤和滑移 (ETS) 事件期间确定了 LFE 的缓慢迁移前沿,其延伸距离长达 100 公里,并遵循类似扩散的空间演化模式,扩散系数约为 10 4 m 2 /s。这种迁移模式与先前研究报告的构造震颤的时空演化密切匹配。在更短的距离,最多 15 公里,我们发现了 LFE 的快速扩散式迁移,系数约为 10 5 m 2 /s。我们还认识到,在主要 ETS 发作期间,LFE 的快速迁移在许多条纹中间歇性发生。这些观察表明慢滑动瞬变包含许多较小的、时间上聚集的断层滑动事件,其演化受扩散过程控制。这种迁移模式与先前研究报告的构造震颤的时空演化密切匹配。在更短的距离,最多 15 公里,我们发现了 LFE 的快速扩散式迁移,系数约为 10 5 m 2 /s。我们还认识到,在主要 ETS 发作期间,LFE 的快速迁移在许多条纹中间歇性发生。这些观察表明慢滑动瞬变包含大量较小的、时间上聚集的断层滑动事件,其演化受扩散过程控制。这种迁移模式与先前研究报告的构造震颤的时空演化密切匹配。在更短的距离,最多 15 公里,我们发现了 LFE 的快速扩散式迁移,系数约为 10 5 m 2 /s。我们还认识到,在主要 ETS 发作期间,LFE 的快速迁移在许多条纹中间歇性发生。这些观察表明慢滑动瞬变包含许多较小的、时间上聚集的断层滑动事件,其演化受扩散过程控制。
