aftershock sequence characteristic; the strongest aftershock; strong aftershock migration; interval of quiet time; tidal modulation

备注

统计研究了2004年12月26日印尼苏门答腊MW9.0、2008年5月12日中国汶川MS8.0和2010年2月27日智利MW8.8三次大震后一个月内(特别关注24 h,15 d,30 d 3个时段)余震序列的时空强演化特征。结果 显示,大震序列的时间和强度具有显著的分时段起伏特征,而余震频次呈现阶梯式衰减。大震后第1~2天内和第13~17天余震强度最大,有可能发生最大余震,最大余震位于余震区端部的可能性较大,且利用震后3 h的余震可估计余震区范围。最后,讨论了强余震起伏时段以及最大强余震可能与固体潮调制具有相关性。

In order to explore seismic activity features after the huge earthquake shortly,we statisticed the evolution characteristics of the spatial,temporal and intensity distribution in one month(focus on 24 hours,15 days and one month respectively)after three huge earthquakes. The three huge earthquakes are Sumatra MW9.0 earthquake in Indonesia on Dec.26,2004,Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake in China on May.12,2008 and Chile MW8.8 earthquake on Feb.27,2010. The results show that the characteristics of time and intensity distribution of the earthquake sequence had obvious ups and downs during the different time periods,and the frequency of aftershocks showed the stepped attenuation. Furthermore the aftershock activity was the strongest in the 1~2 days and 13~17 days after the huge earthquake. The maximum aftershock was probably to occur in the end of aftershock zone,and we could use the aftershocks in 3 hours after main shock to estimate the scale of aftershock zone. In addition,we also discussed that the period of the ups and downs characteristic of strong aftershock activity,and their relationship with the tidal modulation period.
