1 Towards a quantitative performance evaluation of VS and Elarms M.Caprio,G. Cua, S. Wiemer, M. Fischer 10/4/07

2 Outlook Introduction to Virtual Seismologist Applications Results Comparison criteria between VS and Elarms Future works

3 Introduction to Virtual Seismologist developped by Cua & Heaton 2005 Bayesian approach to seismic early warning designed for regions with distributed seismic hazard/risk Modeled on back of the envelope methods of human seismologists for examining waveform data Shape of envelopes, relative frequency content Capacity to assimilate different types of information Previously observed seismicity State of health of seismic network Known fault locations Gutenberg-Richter recurrence relationship

4 Given available waveform observations Yobs, what are the most probable estimates of magnitude and location, M, R? posterior (the answer) likelihood prior prob(m, R Y obs ) prob(y obs M, R) prob(m, R) Prior = beliefs regarding M, R before considering observations Yobs Likelihood = how observations Yobs modify beliefs about M, R Posterior = current state of belief, combination of prior and Yobs maxima of posterior = most probable estimates of M, R given Yobs Introduction to Virtual Seismologist spread of posterior = variances on estimates of M, R

6 CISN Early Warning Project provided by Richard Allen Goal: California-wide evaluation of real-time early warning methodologies Aug 06 Year 1: Initial real-time outputs from EEW algorithms Year 2: Adding uncertainty estimates; website display Currently at 21 mths Year 3: Evaluation of past and future performance Jul 09 specifications for implemented early warning system equipment requirements (stations) telemetry processing

7 Three real-time algorithms in implementation Onsite warning (Wu and Kanamori, Caltech) Single waveform approach to warning maximizes warning time Developed station specific sensitivity parameters to optimize performance Virtual Seismologist (Cua and Heaton, ETH) Bayesian approach to source (magnitude and location) and ground motion estimation, and framework for optimized user-response to uncertain information On-going research on hybrid weak + strong motion level attenuation relationships (Cua and Heaton), real-time characterization of source finiteness (Yamada and Heaton) 3. ElarmS (Allen and Kanamori, UC Berkeley) Use of amplitude and period information in magnitude estimate Integration of ShakeMap components for output

8 Block diagram of the CISN Early Warning Framework codes Common block analyzing wave forms for all different EEW algorithm Algorithms run all together on the same data set

9 Block diagram of VS codes as installed in Switzerland The VS code require the same input as in the CISN framework codes and the RT interface will be built from ETH early warning group Location module is under development in case of less than 4 recording station

15 Event-based performance evaluation Challenges: Comparing algorithms with different types of output ElarmS and VS produce magnitude and location, and peak ground motion estimates for a given region; these are updated every second. Other existing methods... Summarizing VS and ElarmS outputs VS and Elarms estimate ground motions at a given set of stations, and these are updated every second. Thus, for a southern California event, considering 130+ real-time stations, the typical output of these regional approaches is a set of 260+ time 60-second long time series of predicted PGA and PGV at each station

16 Quality criteria proposed by CISN Advantages Express ground motion predictions and prediction errors in MMI Non-experts are more familiar with MMI than absolute levels of PGA or PGV Public is already familiar with the ShakeMap color scale, shaking level and Damage descriptions

17 Quality criteria proposed by CISN Wald (1999) relationships between PGA/PGV and MMI I = 2.10log(PGV ) for I < V = 3.47 log(pgv ) for I > V Hauksson & Böse (2008) ΔI = I est I obs = 2.10 log PGV est PGV obs PGV obs for I < V = 3.47 log PGV est for I > V GM prediction error in units of intensity GM prediction error scale abs(δi) 0.5 "Very good" 0.5 < abs(δi) 1.0 "Good" 1.0 < abs(δi) 1.5 "Moderate" 1.5 < abs(δi) 2.0 "Poor" abs(δi) > 2.0 "Extremely poor" 1 unit intensity is approximately 1 sigma in attenuation (factor 2 in ground motion)

19 Future works In next few moths we will apply the algorithms to different networks to evaluate how algorithm performances are related with network features We will compare all algorithms using the quality factor criteria as shown
