Nozawa et al. (1995) proposed a source model with two big subevents of the same seismic moment for the 1923 Kanto earthquake (M=7.9), through the simulation of the records by the Imamura-type strong motion seismograph (displacementmeter) at Gifu observatory. This model was named Model I in the present study. The first subevent of Model I is located under the Odawara city, having a fault plane with the strike of N290°E and the rake angle of 162°. This fault has much strike slip component, which is consistent with the focal mechanism solution by KANAMORI (1971). However, the direction of the strike is not compatible with the trench axis of the Sagami trough. The second subevent occurring 12s after the first subevent is located under the Miura Peninsula. The fault of the second subevent, having much dip slip component, well explains the geodetic data. Recently, the seismograms by the Imamura-type strong motion seismographs at Sendai (Mukaiyama) observatory and Yamagata observatory were examined and the instrumental responses of the seismographs were revealed. Crustal structure from source to stations was estimated in the present study so as to explain the observed Love and Rayleigh waves at Sendai (JMA) and Yamagata observatories from the recent events occurring near the focal region of the 1923 Kanto earthquake. However, Model I failed to explain the records of the 1923 Kanto earthquake at Sendai (Mukaiyama) and Yamagata observatories, using the obtained crustal structure. Then, we revised Model I to explain these records, in consideration of the newly determined focal mechanism solution by Lallemant et al.. (1996) and iso-depth contour of the upper boundary of the Philippine Sea plate by Ishida (1992). The first subevent of the revised model (Model R) has a fault plane with the strike of N321°E and the rake angle of 128°, and the twice of seismic moment of the second subevent. The direction of the fault strike of the first subevent is parallel to the trench axis of the Sagami trough, while the fault plane of the second subevent is the same as Model I. Model R succeeded in explaining not only the records at Sendai (Mukaiyama) and Yamagata observatories but also those at Gifu observatory in the period range from 2 to 20s. This shows the fault model, being in agreement with the geometry of subduction zone along the Sagami trough, is better to explain the seismic records observed in Japan.

Records observed at Gifu observatory by an Imamura's type strong motion seismograph are one of the most useful records in Japan to investigate a source process of the 1923 Kanto earthquake (M=7.9). It is because amplitudes of the records are not saturated in EW and UD components, instrumental response of the seismograph has been clarified, and many records due to recent events occurred near the focal region of the Kanto earthquake have been obtained by more accurate seismographs at the same site. In the present study, a source process of the 1923 Kanto earthquake is elucidated through a simulation of the records using the normal mode theory in the period range from 2 to 20s. First, a crustal structure from the source to the station is estimated so as to explain dispersive characteristics of Love waves observed at Gifu observatory for the recent events, and their records are simulated to confirm a validity of the estimated crustal structure. Secondly, the records from the Kanto earthquake are simulated using the obtained crustal structure to deduce the source process of this event. According to KANAMORI (1971), a macroscopic faulting is a reverse right-lateral fault on a plane dipping 34° towards N20°E, whose slip has much strike component. If two big subevents with the same focal mechanism obtained by KANAMORI (1971) and with a time interval of about 12s are assumed on the fault plane, the observed records can be well explained. The first subevent is located under the Odawara city and the second one under the Miura Peninsula. The focal depth of the second event is 15 to 35km being deeper than that of the first event, which is 5 to 25km in depth. The seismic moments and the rise time are assumed 2.5×1027 dyne-cm and 5s for both the events respectively. On the other hand, if the focal mechanism of the second event is dip slip type, the observed records can be also explained well, even though the focal depth of the second subevent is the same as that of the first one. This model is consistent with a slip distribution on the fault plane obtained from geodetic data.

Seismograms from the 1923 Kanto earthquake (M=7.9) and its aftershocks at the Yamagata observatory of JMA (The Japan Meteorological Agency) in Tohoku district, Japan, are examined. They were recorded by the Imamura-type strong motion seismograph. Horizontal-component records from the main shock and the 1924 Tanzawa earthquake (M=7.3), one of the largest aftershocks, are digitized and the instrumental characteristics of the seismographs are examined. Natural period To and damping ratio v of the instrument are evaluated to be 4.5s and 1.5 for both the NS and EW components from the free oscillation records and documents for the results of testing the instrumental response. The maximum displacement in EW component of 11.2cm is obtained for the main shock in the period range from 2 to 20s, after the instrument correction.On the other hand, uncertainties of the instrumental characteristics remain for the seismograms from the 1923 Kanto earthquake observed at the Mukaiyama observatory of the Tohoku Imperial University in Sendai, [TAKEMURA et al. (1995)]. The Sendai city is located about 40km east from the Yamagata city. The epicentral distance and azimuth of the Mukaiyama observatory is not so different from those of the Yamagata observatory for the 1923 Kanto earthquake. It is found that the displacement records at Sendai and Yamagata have mostly the same amplitude for the recent moderately large earthquakes with almost the same location of epicenter as the 1923 Kanto earthquake. All the records were observed by the strong motion displacement seismographs of To=6s and v=8 both at the Yamagata observatory and at the Sendai district meteorological observatory of JMA. This fact indicates that the displacement at the Mukaiyama observatory in Sendai ought to show almost the same amplitude as one at the Yamagata observatory during the 1923 Kanto earthquake. Then, we redetermined To of the instrument at Mukaiyama observatory so that the amplitude of the displacement after the instrument correction is the same as that at the Yamagata observatory. Redetermined To is 5s in EW component, being meaningfully longer than the results estimated by TAKEMURA et al. (1995).

Records observed at the Takada observatory by an Imamura's type strong motion seismograph are useful in Japan to investigate a source process of the 1923 Kanto earthquake (M=7.9). Ground motion in the vertical component is completely recorded to the end. Those in horizontal components are also recorded to the end, though the amplitudes of them are saturated in the midst of the records. The instrumental response of the seismograph has been already clarified by TAKEMURA and NOZAWA (1996), and many records from the recent earthquakes occurring near the focal region of the Kanto earthquake are also obtained at the same site with modern instruments. First, a crustal structure model from the source to the station is established so as to explain the dispersion characteristics of Love-waves observed for the recent earthquakes, and their records are simulated by the normal mode theory using the obtained structure to confirm its validity. Secondly, the records from the Kanto earthquake are reproduced using the same structure model. NOZAWA et al. (1995) proposed the two possible source models for the Kanto earthquake through the simulation of the records at the Gifu observatory. Two big subevents with a time interval of about 12s are assumed on the fault plane in both the models, while the focal mechanism and the focal depth of the second subevent are different between these models. It is found that these models similarly explain the records at the Takada observatory from the Kanto earthquake. The maximum displacements of the reproduced horizontal ground motions are estimated about 20cm in NS component. and about 10cm in EW component. These results are consistent with the fact that the amplitudes of the records in NS component are strongly saturated compared with those in EW component.

A simple method is developed to determine seismic moments of earthquakes by using tabulated data in usual seismological bulletins. The method is qualified through the criteria such as simplicity of calculations, coverage of wide magnitude range, and insensitivity of the instrumental response: At first, characteristic period Tc of each earthquake is defined as the average value of apparent periods of wavelets which give maximum amplitudes of ground displacement at epicentral distances between 200 and 700km. Secondly, amplitude information is taken into consideration, making a product of maximum amplitude, its period and epicentral distance. Seismic-moment factor Me for a given earthquake is defined at the characteristic period Tc as the average value of those products evaluated from horizontal components at stations within epicentral distance range from 200 to 400km. The narrow range of epicentral distance in evaluating Me is taken so as to reduce the uncertainty due to seismic-energy attenuation into a permissible range and to be able to obtain equal number of observations for small earthquakes to that for large ones. The relation between the seismic-moment factors and characteristic periods for 163 intraplate earthquakes in Japan from 1926 to 1977 clearly demonstrates that Me is proportional to the cube of Tc. A scaling model of earthquakes that satisfies the empirical relations among surface-wave magnitude, JMA magnitude, and body-wave magnitude facilitates the estimate of static seismic-moments from calculated Me's. The seismic moments of 16 earthquakes determined by conventional analyses from near- and/or far-field observations are consistent with static seismic-moments thus estimated. This shows the potential in practice of the present method especially in routine processing of seismic data.

The Pacific coast of Japan has often suffered severe damage by distant tsunamis propagated from the circum Pacific regions (Chile-Peru, Kurile-Kamchatka and Aleutian-Alaska). Based on the historical documents or tide-gauge records observed in Japan during the period of about 400 years, 1586-1988, the geographic distribution of cumulative tsunami energy, ∑H2 for each 150km segment along the coast is investigated. The energy distribution for the distant tsunamis is compared with that of the near tsunamis which were generated in the vicinity of Japan. The obtained results are as follows:1) The amount of cumulative energy, ∑H2=51m2 from the Chile-Peru tsunamis is largest at the Sanriku region, northeastern Japan.2) The tsunami energy from the Kurile-Kamchatka reaching East Hokkaido and Sanriku regions is large, but the amount of energy is about one-third of that of the Chile-Peru tsunamis.3) The energy from the Aleutian-Alaska and Philippine-Indonesia tsunamis is relatively small because of the effect of directivity.4) The pattern of energy distribution for the distant tsunamis is different from that for the near tsunamis generated around Japan. Percentage of the energy from the distant tsunamis reaching SW. Hokkaido, Fukushima, Ibaraki and Okinawa is about 50% of the total tsunamigenic energy.

Based on tide-gauge records observed at the Hokkaido and Sakhalin coasts facing the Okhotsk Sea, the characteristics of seven Kurile tsunamis (1918-1978) passing through the straits are investigated. The ratio of wave-heights at the Okhotsk Sea coast to Hanasaki located at the Pacific side was about one-half for tsunamis generating off the Urup Island, and the ratio has a tendency of decrease when the tsunami source moves to western direction toward Hokkaido. It suggests the effective tsunami energy passes into the Iturup Straits than other straits or channels. The travel time at Hanasaki becomes long when the tsunami source moves to the east direction, but that of the Hokkaido-Sakhalin region in the Okhotsk Sea is usually unchanged: For example, travel times of the Kurile tsunamis were mostly about 1.5 hours at Abashiri and 3 hours at Wakkanai. We found through the refraction diagrams that the unchanged travel times were caused by sea-bottom topography in the Okhotsk Sea. The wave rays emitted from the Iturup Straits concentrate in Sakhalin, while those from the Kunashiri Channel concentrate in Hokkaido. For future tsunamis coming-into the Okhotsk Sea, it is indispensable to take into considerations of the effect of tidal currents.

We have reexamined whether the velocity decrease of the seismic waves due to dilatancy can be detected or not. A numerical investigation was made to see the change of travel times by using synthetic seismograms of P-waves traveling through a dilatant region. In synthesizing the seismograms, the Brune's source model was used, and the P-wave velocity was assumed to increase with increasing frequency and to approach asymptotically an intrinsic velocity. This relation between P-wave velocity and frequency is based on the experimental result obtained by uniaxial compression test of a granitic rock sample; the velocity decrease is larger at low frequencies than at high frequencies. The dispersion curve is characterized by crack density ε, crack width 2a and intrinsic velocity α. A characteristic frequency fM=5α/πa, above which no velocity decrease is found, is defined. We investigated the change of the P-arrival times in the synthetic seismograms, changing both crack density and crack width. When the P-wave forms of earthquakes with the same magnitudes are recorded without off scale, the travel time anomaly can be detected in the case of fc<<fM, where fc is the corner frequency of seismic source spectrum. Therefore, for detecting the travel time anomaly, it is necessary to observe earthquakes in low frequency range of f<<fM, where the significant velocity decrease is expected. For this purpose, group arrival times of the P-wave at low frequencies may also be useful.

According to SHIMAZAKI (1986), the large and small Japanese intraplate earthquakes obey the different scaling laws: M0∝L3 for small events but M0∝L2 for large events, where L and M0 are fault length and seismic moment, respectively. This is caused by the fact that the fault widths W for the large events are bounded by the thickness of the seismogenic layer in the crust. We examined the relations among source parameters for 33 Japanese intraplate earthquakes from 1885 to 1995 and confirmed the validity of the results obtained by SHIMAZAKI (1986) for the events of M=5 to 8, where M is the magnitude in the scale of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Relations between source parameters and JMA magnitude M were also derived from the relations among source parameters, using the M0-M relation by TAKEMURA (1990).SHIMAZAKI (1986) also indicated the offset of the L-M0 relation at the transition between small and large earthquakes, and suggested that the offset appeared to be due to the difference in boundary conditions between buried and surface faults. We found an offset from 6.5 to 6.8 in the JMA magnitude M, as well as the offsets of a factor of about 2 in D and M0, but no offset in L and W, where D is the average slip of the fault. Also we found that almost all events with M≥6.8 accompanied the surface faults, while most of the events with M≤6.5 did not accompany any surface fault. These results strongly supported that the offsets in D, M0, and M were caused by the surface fault breaks for the large earthquakes. Furthermore, we examined the relation between the damages from the Japanese intraplate earthquake and its JMA magnitude M. The damages suddenly increased from M=6.5 to M=6.8. The scaling law obtained above gave the large earthquake a strip fault whose location was very shallow. Because of these conditions, the intraplate earthquakes with M≥6.8 bring about strong ground motions in the wide area.

We present a new ‘bending’ formulation of three-dimensional ray tracing in a spherical Earth. This is suitable for computer programming, and we have already corrected some errors in previously published formulations. By using this formulation we calculate a seismic ray traveling in a velocity model for the subduction zone around the Japan islands. The result is compared with those by appoximate ray-tracing methods, such as Ray Initializer, Circular Ray Tracer and Pseudo-Bending. The model includes the Conrad and Moho discontinuities, and the upper boundary of the subducting Pacific plate. To evaluate the effect of the discontinuities we also calculate exact rays for continuous models derived from the Lagrange or spline interpolation of the discontinuous model. The comparison shows that appoximate ray-tracing methods and smoothed continuous models may lead detailed seismic tomography of the subduction zone to a wrong result. In particular, the discontinuities should be taken into calculations to obtain precise trajectories of rays traveling through a subducting slab.

The Earthquake Prediction Data Center (EPDC) of the Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo, has been receiving the hypocentral parameters and arrival time data acquired through the University Information System for Earthquake Prediction Research, which is operated by Japanese national universities under the national program for earthquake prediction. Through the cooperation of these universities, the data and hypocenters were compiled and stored in the database system of the EPDC. There are two types of database; one is the real-time database and the other is the revised database which is sent by magnetic tapes from each regional center. EPDC has prepared to open these database for every seismologists to use and now the real-time database can be used by the real-time monitoring system and the revised database is open to be public as the Japan University Network Earthquake Catalog. The hypocentral coordinates and orgin times listed in the catalog are redetermined by EPDC using the arrival time data of the revised database. Although, the minimun magnitude of the earthquakes listed in the catalog is 2.0, the earthquakes listed in the catalog covers the microearthquake activities in Japan. In the present paper, we discuss the hypocenter determination procedure of the catalog and also the characteristics of the hypocenters listed in the catalog.

Seismic intensity at Shikine-jima during the earthquake swarm of Izu-Islands in 2000 is usually one or two ranks higher than that at neighbor island, though epicentral distances to these islands are almost similar. In order to investigate the cause of anomalous large seismic intensity, three portable strong motion instruments have been installed at the island.The spectral ratios of observed S waveforms at sedimentary stations at Shikine-jima demonstrate severe site amplification of 2 to 10 within a wide frequency range between 1 to 10Hz relative to rock site. The experiments based on a GA inversion indicate unusual subsurface structure with very low (VS=31-427m/s) and high attenuation (QS=15-148) superficial layer overlying a bedrock (VS=1000m/s, QS=200) with large contrast at the interface is a main cause of high seismic intensities.The influence of nonlinearity was also found near a coast of Shikine-jima when the ground acceleration level exceeds 300cm/s2. The nonlinear ground response yielded a considerable reduction of the ground motions, so that the observed peak accelerations during the severe earthquakes were only about 50% of that predicted by linear ground response.
