1 SSHAC Level 3 Southwestern U.S. Ground Motion Characterization WS-2, October 24, 23 Berkeley, CA Single-Station Phi Using NGA-West2 Data Linda Al Atik Proponent Expert

2 Outline Background, terminology and approach Single-station phi analysis using: NGA-West2 data: Residuals from ASK4, CB4, and CY4 Taiwan data from Lin et al. (2) Observed trends versus magnitude, distance, V S3 and comparisons Path effects and regional variations

3 Residual Components δ = δb + δw es e es δ δ B e W es : Between-event (inter-event) residual for earthquake e : Within-event (intra-event) residual at station s for earthquake e 2 2 σ τ φ = + Alatik et al. (2) τ : Between-event standard deviation φ : Within-event standard deviation 3

4 Single-Station Phi: Approach Given multiple recordings of GM at an individual site, S, allows estimating the systematic site effects, δ S2S S, and removing them from the GM variability: Single-Station Phi δ S S 2 S represents the systematic deviation of the observed amplification at this site from the median amplification predicted by the model 4

5 Terminology Ergodic Partially Non-Ergodic Within-event residual, Single-station within-event residual, δ δws = δw δs2s W es es es s Within-event standard deviation, Total standard deviation, 2 2 σ = φ + τ φ Single-station within-event standard deviation, φ SS Single-station standard deviation, σ = φ + τ SS 2 2 SS Al Atik et al.

37 Observations does not appear region-independent; Taiwan and Italy have lower Chen & Tsai (22) reported φ SS =.397 for Taiwan at PGA Repeated sampling of path for Taiwan? Increase in at small magnitude and short distance (M3 to 5, R < 3km) Hypocenter location errors? Radiation pattern? 37

38 Path Effects Closeness index (CI) is used as an indicator of path similarities CI i, j, k = ( R + R ) 2 i, k H i, j j, k H i,j = distance between the hypocenters of eqk i and j recorded at site s R i,k and R j,k = hypocentral distances from site k to eqk i and j. CI ranges from for co-located eqks to 2 for eqks located in opposite epicentral directions from the site 38

39 Path Effects: Approach Calculate expected CI for randomly located earthquakes Calculate the average CI of the data for each region Compare the average CI of the data to the expected CI for randomly located earthquakes 39

40 Expected CI for Randomly Located Eqks. Generate a number of randomly located earthquakes (Nhyp) in a circular area of radius R around a station 2. Calculate CI for each pair of earthquakes at the station 3. Calculate mean CI 4. Vary Nhypo and R Expected CI for randomly located earthquakes.38 4

47 Can the radiation pattern explain the high φ SS for CA M3 to 5 and R < 3 km? NGA-West2 flatfile: Rfn.Hyp and Rfp.Hyp: S-wave radiation coefficients to approximate finite fault radiation pattern of the hypocenter for the FN and FP components. Only available for eqks that have finite fault models Used sqrt(rfn.hyp^2+ Rfp.Hyp^2) Doug Douglas: Provided effective radiation coefficient for CA data with M3 to 5 and Rrup < 3km Calculated using Green s functions for a central coast D model Effective radiation coefficient is ratio of max amplitude at the station relative to the maximum amplitude over a ring at the distance of the station from the epicenter 47
