First Back Projections

At the end of last week I was able to finagle my way through GMT to create mapped images of the back projections for my 3 earthquakes at both arrays I am using. Michael is working on a way to upload or link to the actual animations, but for now, here is a picture of all 6 of the windows I used.

The top 3 are from the HINET array, and the bottom 3 are from the TA array. I have yet to see enough of these images to really understand what they tell me, but hopefully Eric can clue me in as to what we can gain from these images.

After meeting with Miaki, Eric and Petris on Thursday, we all agree that there are some strange behaviors associated with this earthquake sequence. They don't really follow the characteristics assigned to them by textbooks. Although it is too early to draw conclusions and infer results from what we have, I am excited to be here as we reveal further complexities with these deep earthquakes and (hopefully) unveil a new piece of the puzzle.

So cool! I have the files but have been on the road lately. I am hoping to get the files posted for you in the next two days or so. You should ping Lindsey as she is also fighting with GMT. You two could compare notes! Besides all the computing progress how is Cambridge?
