UCERF3 Implementation Instructions
v3 v4 7 7 8 8 This is the appropriate starting point for those wishing to use the UCERF3 model outside OpenSHA. A [wiki:UCERF3FaultSystemSolutions Fault System Solution] is a *.zip file that contains all information relevant to using UCERF3 as an earthquake source model. When using these files it is important to be aware of the following: 9 10 * It is often easier to work initially with "branch-averaged" solutions. 9 11 * Gridded seismicity (or background) sources are composed of up to two Magnitude frequency distributions (MFDs) at each 0.1° x 0.1° spaced grid node. One is "associated" (as in small earthquake associated with any faults in a grid cell) and the other is "unassociated" (as in independent of any faults). These two MFDs must be added to obtain the total off-fault, gridded, or background seismicity source rate. 12 * All rates in a UCERF3 solution file are NOT declustered rates. All supra-seismogenic ruptures (those defined as finite faults) must be scaled by 3%. Gridded or background source rates must be scaled in a magnitude dependent manner according to the OpenSHA [http://source.usc.edu/svn/opensha/trunk/dev/scratch/UCERF3/utils/GardnerKnopoffAftershockFilter.java GardnerKnopoffAftershockFilter]. 13 * 3D finite representations of ruptures may be created from the individual fault sections defined in a solution file. For details on how to stitch the sections together in order see the OpenSHA implementation of a [http://source.usc.edu/svn/opensha/trunk/src/org/opensha/sha/faultSurface/CompoundSurface.java Compound Fault Surface]. 14 * Details on the [wiki: FaultSystemSolution fault system solution] file format. 10 15 11 16 == [wiki:"UCERF3 ERFs" UCERF3 ERFs] ==
