The 1957 great Aleutian earthquake
(Birkhäuser-Verlag; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-03)
The 9 March 1957 Aleutian earthquake has been estimated as the third largest earthquake this century and has the longest aftershock zone of any earthquake ever recorded—1200 km. However, due to a lack of high-quality seismic ...
Rupture process of large earthquakes in the northern Mexico subduction zone
(Birkhäuser-Verlag; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-03)
The Cocos plate subducts beneath North America at the Mexico trench. The northernmost segment of this trench, between the Orozco and Rivera fracture zones, has ruptured in a sequence of five large earthquakes from 1973 to ...
Inference of ground surface temperature history from subsurface temperature data: Interpreting ensembles of borehole logs
(Birkhäuser-Verlag; Birkhäuser Verlag ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-08)
Ground surface temperature histories (GSTHs) inferred from borehole temperaturedepth ( T-z ) data are often degraded, to a various extent, by random or systematic noise in the T-z data and in the measurements of thermophysical ...
Introduction to “tsunamis: 1992–94”
(Birkhäuser-Verlag; Birkhäuser Verlag ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-09)
Analysis of seismological and tsunami data from the 1993 Guam earthquake
(Birkhäuser-Verlag; Birkhäuser Verlag ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-09)
The fault parameters of the Guam earthquake of August 8, 1993 are estimated from seismological analyses, and the possibility of identifying the actual fault plane from tsunami waveforms is tested. The Centroid Moment Tensor ...
Tsunami generation of the 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki earthquake
(Birkhäuser-Verlag; Birkhäuser Verlag ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-09)
Heterogeneous fault motion of the 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki earthquake is studied by using seismic, geodetic and tsunami data, and the tsunami generation from the fault model is examined. Seismological analyses indicate ...
Semidiurnal tide in the 80-150 km region: an assimilative data analysis
(Elsevier, 1994-08)
A set of tabulated functions called `Hough Mode Extensions' (HMEs), which represent numerical extensions of classical Hough modes into the viscous regime of the thermosphere, are used to least-squares fit a climatological ...
Dynamic Stress Drop of Recent Earthquakes: Variations within Subduction Zones
(Birkhäuser Verlag; Birkhäuser Verlag Basel, ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-05)
—Stress drop is a fundamental parameter of earthquakes, but it is difficult to obtain reliable stress drop estimates for most earthquakes. Static stress drop estimates require knowledge of the seismic moment and fault area. ...
SMLTM simulations of the diurnal tide: comparison with UARS observations
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1997-10)
Wind and temperature observations in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) from the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) reveal strong seasonal variations of tides, a dominant component of the MLT dynamics. ...
