Sendai / Tohoku-oki earthquake displacements from 0530 - 0630 UTC (minus main shock co-seismic)

The movie shows the displacements due to the M9.0 and M7.9 earthquakes in Japan on March 11, 2011 (data, no model!). Similar to www.youtube.com , but with the co-seismic displacements removed from 05:55:30 UTC on to isolate the effect of the M7.9 earthquake at 06:15:58 UTC. Shows body and surface waves, and static displacements. Further details and higher resolution video for download at: gps.alaska.edu Visualization: R. Grapenthin, Geophysical Institute, Univ. Alaska Fairbanks. Data: preliminary GPS positioning solutions provided by ARIA/HPL/Caltech (sideshow.jpl.nasa.gov All original GEONET RINEX data were provided to Caltech by the Geospatial Information Authority (GSI) of Japan. I use GMT ( gmt.soest.hawaii.edu ) to create individual maps frames.
