摘要：GPS kinematic time series are analyzed to estimate slip distributions for the M w 9.0 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake sequence.Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis is employed to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of the original time series.The coseismic, and subsequent postseismic, deformations of the foreshock can be described by a single mode, suggesting that the extent of the source for both events must be similar.The total moment magnitude of the afterslip following the foreshock is estimated to be M w 7.1 with a decay time of 0.63 days.The magnitude of the afterslip was larger for its duration than was anticipated by the scaling law for a typical slow earthquake, although two previous earthquakes in adjacent regions showed the same tendency as that in the present case.The pattern of slip of the mainshock and the subsequent afterslips and aftershocks indicates that each slip occurs in a region adjacent to that of the previous slips in a complementary manner.Finally, in the course of the EOF analysis, the modes representing the thermal expansion of the GPS pillars are clearly identified. Key words Kinematic GPS EOF coseismic slip afterslip.
