In this study, the small relocated “same and/or similar size events” repeated in each observed cluster are deduced from temporal and spatial statistics of microseismicity. Microseismicity not exceeding Mw 5.0 that occurred in the years from 2010 to 2014 and were recorded by the network of the Turkish General Directorate of Disaster Affairs were investigated. In the Gulf of Gökova (SW corner of Turkey), the November 26, 2012 Bozburun mainshock (Mw 4.8) was evaluated with its small events, together with its accompanying aftershock sequences that occurred in three discrete areas (Bozburun, Ula, Bodrum) of the gulf: the May 16, 2013 Ula aftershock (Mw 4.6), the March 25, 2014 Bozburun aftershock (Mw 4.0), and the May 1, 2014 Bodrum aftershock (Mw 4.0). Statistical analysis was accomplished by subdividing temporal distribution of microseismicity and resorting to a number of temporal clusters that allowed the mainshock-aftershock sequence to be placed into subgroups, and thus resulted in five clusters of various sizes linked to spatial clusters. The successive occurrence and clustering of small events into distinct discrete domains in time and space allowed reliable constraints on the stress state of the study area and suggested an interaction of the clusters. The interacting clusters offered an opportunity to evaluate the seismic coupling to 2017 Bodrum earthquake (Mw 6.6) in the study area. Our portrayal of the clusters inferred from small relocated events provide an important contribution to Bozburun, Ula and Bodrum: (1) a symptomatic discretization that is “peaked-like statistical behaviors” of clusters of small relocated events through time and space is an anomalously conspicuous feature, (2) this feature proposes a process of the inevitable interaction and triggering of the discrete clusters, indicating transient acceleration of aseismic slip on surrounding, uncoupled sections of the study area, and (3) this process reveals an evidence of the viscous-compliant seismicity as a principal objective of the cluster interaction, and hence a matter of seismic coupling scenario of the clusters to 2017 Bodrum earthquake (Mw 6.6) in the study area. These conclusions highlight the importance of the seismic-aseismic slip partitioning, arresting and balancing in the co-seismic source regions of the seismically active extensional grabens in driving the large earthquakes near the future and the viscous-compliant seismogenesis over back-arc setting of the Gulf of Gökova that provides an opportunity to understand the seismic coupling processes and the current stress state of the study area. This study implicates for the extensional back-arc graben basins in the Aegean region and WSW-Turkey that require a knowledge of the linkage between upper mantle flow processes and shallow, thin crustal dynamics in the region.

在这项研究中，从微地震的时空统计推论出在每个观测到的星团中重复出现的小型“相同和/或相似大小的事件”。调查了土耳其灾难事务总局网络记录的2010年至2014年期间发生的Mw不超过5.0 Mw的微震。在Gökova海湾（土耳其西南角），对2012年11月26日的Bozburun主震（Mw 4.8）进行了小事件评估，并伴有余震在海湾的三个离散区域（博兹布伦，乌拉，博德鲁姆）发生的地震序列：2013年5月16日乌拉余震（Mw 4.6），2014年3月25日博兹伯伦余震（Mw 4.0）和2014年5月1日博德鲁姆余震（Mw 4.0）。统计分析是通过细分微地震的时间分布并诉诸多个时间簇来完成的，这些时间簇使主震-余震序列可以被放置到子组中，从而导致五个大小不一的簇与空间簇相联系。小事件的连续发生和聚类在时间和空间上形成离散的离散域，这对研究区域的应力状态提供了可靠的约束，并暗示了聚类之间的相互作用。相互作用的星团为评估与2017年博德鲁姆地震（Mw 6）的地震耦合提供了机会。6）在学习区。我们对小型重新定位事件推断的聚类的描述为Bozburun，Ula和Bodrum提供了重要的贡献：（1）症状离散化是通过时间和空间对小型重新定位事件的聚类进行“类似峰值的统计行为”，这是异常明显的特征（2）此特征提出了不可避免的相互作用和离散簇触发的过程，表明研究区域周围，未耦合部分的地震滑动瞬变加速，并且（3）此过程揭示了粘性的证据-合规的地震活动性是该集群相互作用的主要目标，因此该集群与研究区域的2017年博德鲁姆地震（Mw 6.6）的地震耦合方案有关。这些结论凸显了地震活动伸展grab的共震源区中地震-地震滑移的划分，制止和平衡对于驱动未来的大地震以及在后弧环境下粘性顺应的地震发生的重要性。 Gökova海湾提供了一个了解地震耦合过程和研究区域当前应力状态的机会。这项研究暗示了爱琴海地区和WSW-Turkey的延伸后弧grab陷盆地需要了解上地幔之间的联系 区域的流动过程和浅薄的地壳动力学。
