2 Abstrat In view of the remarkable suess of the Japan Meteorologial Ageny earthquake early warning system (developed jointly with the National Researh Institute for Earth Siene and Disaster Prevention) during the 2007 Noto Hanto earthquake, we explore the use of an on-site early warning method with the hope of eventually enhaning the existing system for more robust and faster warning. We determined two early warning parameters τ and P d using the K-NET and KiK-net data for the 2007 Noto Hanto earthquake as well as 15 large earthquakes in Japan. An extended method suggests a possibility of using the initial displaement amplitude data for faster warning. For the two nearby sites at the epientral distanes of 7 and 19 km of the 2007 Noto Hanto earthquake, an early warning an be issued within about 4 s after the origin time Keywords: earthquake early warning, magnitude, seismi hazard mitigation, P-waves. 2

3 Introdution Several earthquake early warning methods have been reently developed, and some of them have been already implemented either experimentally or for atual operation. In partiular, the systems developed at the National Researh Institute for Earth Siene and Disaster Prevention (NIED) (Horiuhi et al., 2005) and the Japan Meteorologial Ageny (JMA) (Tsukada et al., 2004) were integrated in February, 2004, and JMA started test distribution of early warning information to a limited number of organizations. This system was suessfully ativated during the 2007 Noto Hanto (Peninsular) earthquake, and provided aurate information regarding the soure loation, magnitude and intensity about 5 s after the arrival of P wave at nearby stations. This information reahed the sites further than about 30 km from the epienter as early warning (i.e., information arrived before shaking started at the site). This is a remarkable performane of the system for an inland (or lose to the shore) damaging earthquake and gave promise of an early warning system as a pratial means for earthquake damage mitigation. Although the warning did not reah lose-in sites in time (i.e., the information arrived after shaking began) within about 30 km from the epienter where suh warnings are most needed, this is inevitable with the urrent density and onfiguration of the network. If the network is made denser in the future, the warning an be issued more rapidly and the information will be more useful and pratial. For any warning system, reliability is always important and it is desirable to have redundany built in the system to make it more robust. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of using on-site early warning methods to inrease the speed and reliability of the warning system. In on-site methods, the information from the initial part (up to a few 3

4 seonds) of the P wave is used to estimate the magnitude and the strength of the impending ground motion at the same site. This method was initially developed for the Japanese Railway s Urgent Earthquake Detetion and Alarm System (UrEDAS) (Nakamura, 1984, 1988) and, with some modifiations, has been tested in Taiwan (Wu and Kanamori, 2005a) and southern California (Wu et al. 2007) Method Sine the method has been desribed in detail elsewhere (Kanamori, 2005, Wu and Kanamori, 2005a), we only briefly summarize it below. We use low-pass (0.075 Hz) filtered vertial omponent ground-motion displaement reords to ompute two parameters τ and P d from a short reord with a duration t 0 (usually 3 s) after the arrival of P wave. Parameter τ haraterizes the period of ground motion during the initial t 0 se after the P arrival, and P d is the maximum displaement amplitude during the same time interval. The period parameter τ is omputed by / t t τ () 2 = π u t dt u () t dt & 0, where u is the displaement of the vertial omponent ground motion. τ approximately represents the P wave pulse width whih inreases with the magnitude and an be used to estimate the event magnitude. Wu and Kanamori (2005b) showed that P d an be used to estimate the peak ground motion veloity (PGV) at the same site. basi parameters used in on-site warning. τ and P d are the two 4

5 Analysis Wu and Kanamori (2005b) and Wu et al. (2007) showed that τ and P d are useful for estimating the magnitude and peak ground motion, respetively, for earthquakes in Taiwan and southern California. However, no systemati analysis has been made for large Japanese earthquakes. To establish the basi relationships for Japanese earthquakes we determined τ and P d for large Japanese earthquakes inluding the 2007 Noto Hanto earthquake listed in Table 1 using the data from K-NET and KiK-net of NIED; the results for τ are summarized in Table 1 and Figure 1, and the results for P d are shown in Figure 2. The peak ground motion veloities are omputed from the horizontal omponents of K-NET data and from the surfae stations of KiK-net. The larger of the two horizontal omponents is used to determine PGV. In general, the results are onsistent with those determined earlier for Taiwan and southern California. The P d values for Japanese earthquakes are on the same trend as those for earthquakes in Taiwan and southern California, but the satter within the data for Japan is onsiderably large. This large satter an be due to the site response. If the effet of the site response is removed and an average for a group of stations is used, the satter is expeted to derease The 2007 Noto Hanto earthquake We now disuss the result for the 2007 Noto Hanto earthquake in detail. This earthquake (M w =6.7) ourred at 09:41 a.m., Marh 25, 2007 (loal time), and is loated at E, E, and depth=10.7 km. Table 2 lists the stations used and the measured values of τ, P d and PGV at eah station. Exept for the nearest ( =7 km) 5

6 station, ISK006, the values of τ are generally onsistent. As shown in Figure 3, the near-field displaement dominated at the station ISK006. Beause of the ramp-like displaement of the near-field, it yielded an anomalously large τ. This would result in an anomalously large estimate of magnitude. We did not enounter this problem for any other reords from the events listed in Table 1. Thus, the ourrene of this problem is onsidered very rare. Nevertheless, this an ause a problem if we are to use the speifi value of magnitude estimated from eah station for early warning. However, as shown in Table 2, sine the τ values estimated from other stations are normal, if we take the median of the τ values as a representative value of magnitude for the group of stations, or if we introdue a sheme to remove outliers, this problem an be alleviated. Also, if the warning is to be issued as a threshold warning (i.e. a warning with a minimum magnitude) as disussed in Kanamori (2005) and Wu et al. (2007), this will not ause a serious problem. In any ase, this is the problem we enountered and should be borne in mind in using onsite warning methods. The effet of the near-field displaement is also evident in P d. Again, we an take the same proedure as we disussed above for τ to alleviate the problem. 98 The median values of τ and P d are 1.8 s and 0.6 m respetively, whih are omparable to the threshold values for warning established in Taiwan and southern California Extension of the method for faster warning In the method we disussed above we used a reord with a duration of 3 s (i.e., t 0 =3 s) after the P-wave arrival, whih means that it will take at least 3 s after the arrival 6

7 of P wave before we an issue a warning. Sine the present JMA system an perform nearly as fast, the on-site method desribed here itself does not have advantage over the JMA system as far as the warning time is onerned. However, the on-site method provides redundany desirable for any warning system. One possible approah toward issuing faster warning is to monitor the high-pass filtered ground motion displaement, and issue a warning as soon as it has exeeded a threshold value. From our experiene with the Taiwan and southern California data, if P d exeeds 0.5 m, the PGV at the site most likely exeeds the damaging level, i.e., 20 m/s. As shown in Figure 4, for the 2007 Noto Hanto earthquake, at the two nearest stations, ISK006 ( =7 km) and ISK005 ( =19 km), the threshold value of P d =0.5 m was reahed at 0.63 s, and 0.74 s, respetively, from the arrival of P wave. This translates to 2.8 and 4.2 s, respetively, after the origin time. Thus, if a warning is issued at this time, it will reah most of the sites before ground shaking starts, and the early warning system beomes effetive even at lose-in sites where warnings are most needed. Of ourse, trade-off exists between speed and reliability, and exatly how this faster warning method should be implemented would require further tests. Nevertheless, we believe that this is an advantage of on-site warning, and the method will provide additional apability to the existing JMA system Conlusion We used the NIED K-NET and KiK-net data to determine two on-site earthquake early warning parameters τ and P d for 16 large earthquakes in Japan inluding the 2007 Noto Hanto earthquake. The results are overall onsistent with those obtained earlier for 7

8 earthquakes in Taiwan and southern California and demonstrate that τ and P d are also useful parameters for early warning in Japan We explored extension of the method for faster threshold warning by monitoring the high-pass filtered ground motion amplitudes of the 2007 Noto Hanto earthquake. For the two nearby sites at an epientral distanes of 7 and 19 km, a warning an be issued within about 4 s after the origin time whih will enable useful early warning for the epientral area where suh warning is most needed. At present, the data from K-NET and KiK-net are not available real-time for early warning purposes. However, if the method illustrated in this paper proved useful, two options an be onsidered. One is to implement real-time telemetry for these networks and the other is to install a simple software to perform the onsite analysis at the station proessor and send only warning information. In view of the remarkable suess of the JMA system, we believe that further enhanement of the system like the one desribed here is worthwhile to make the overall system faster, more reliable, and robust Aknowledgment We thank S.
