摘要
We use a spectral-element method implemented on the Earth Simulator in Japan to simulate broadband seismic waves generated by the 3 November 2002 Denali fault earthquake. This M-w = 7.9 event is the largest strike-slip earthquake in North America in almost 150 years. The source model is constrained by teleseismic body waves and observed surface offsets. The earthquake was initiated by a small thrust event, and is well characterized by a five-segment fault geometry dominated by right-lateral rupture along 220 km of the Denali fault. We perform the three-dimensional numerical simulations at unprecedented resolution and reveal significantly enhanced ground motions (directivity) toward the conterminous United States for both body and surface waves.
