2 Earthquakes in the Nankai Trough Tokyo Osaka Nagoya Tokai Hyuga nada Nankai 5-6cm/y Tonankai 2-3cm/y 4-5cm/y DONET target area Seismogenic Zone Philippine Sea Plate M8+ class earthquakes occur every years. 2 2

3 The historical EQs. around the Nankai trough Complex recurrence patterns! 1707 CD(TONANKAI) + E(TOKAI) + AB(NANKAI) 1854 CD(TONANKAI) + E(TOKAI) 32hours AB(NANKAI) 1944 CD(TONANKAI) 2years AB(NANKAI) 1946 M8 class EQs. are occurring with the interval of years 3

4 Simulation of Earthquake Occurrence in the Nankai Trough Relative velocity along to the plate boundary Earthquake Nankai Tonankai Tokai Coupled (Non Earthquake) 4

5 Simulation of Earthquake Occurrence in the Nankai Trough Variations of recurrence patterns are simulated qualitatively. First ruptures are starting from the Tonankai seismogenic zone. These results are consistent with past two earthquakes 1944/1946 and1854 EQs. The Tonankai seismogenic zone is very important field to understand the recurrence system of mega thrust earthquakes around the Nankai trough. 5

6 Dense Ocean floor Network System for Earthquakes and Tsunamis DONET Real time monitoring system for Seismogenic zone 6

7 Concept of DONET Osaka Tokyo Number of Science Node : 5 Nodes Number of User Interface : 8 ports / Node Power Distribution : 30 W / Port Data Transmission : 50 Mbit / s / Port Precise Timing Control : < 1μsec 7

8 Ground Motion Sensing System Observation Target : Broad Band Phenomena Long period seismic wave: Hz; m/s 2 - (at 0.05Hz) Micro earthquake: Hz; m/s 2 (at10hz) Large earthquake: Hz; m/s 2 (at 10Hz) Strong motion accelerometer Gimbals Mechanism Broadband seismometer

9 Pressure Sensing System and Peripherals Observation Target : Broad Band Phenomena Crustal Deformation: 1day sec; >1 Pa Tsunami: sec; >1 Pa Long period seismic wave: Hz; >1 Pa Micro earthquake: Hz; >1 Pa Large earthquake: Hz; >3MPa differential pressure gauge quartz pressure gauge hydrophone precision thermometer for sensor calibration

10 Dense network array Concept of DONET Multi kinds of seismometers and pressure sensors Redundancy: Equipping redundant configuration on backbone cable and node Expandability: Branching unit enables wide-spread distribution of observation points. Node plays the role of hub that connects underwater instruments to the backbone cable system. Replaceable function: Replacing observation unit at the seafloor by using underwater removable connector Maintainability: Operation on the seafloor by using Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) 10

11 Data transfer system (DONET)

15 Installation of DONET(2011 Jan.) 8 Observatories are working 5 Nodes are deployed Construction of Installation hole for seismometer Installation of seismometer Deployment of extension cable Installation of sensors

16 Choosing appropriate sensors for target phenomena DONET sensor chooses seismometers and pressure gauges suitable to observe very small to large earthquakes, Tsunamis, and slow ground deformation. We need set of sensors of very broad frequency range and wide dynamic range. Tsunamis Slow ground deformation Long period Seismic waves Earthquakes Slow ground deformation Long period Seismic waves Earthquakes

The seismic wave is also recorded at the data. Non-linearity of tsunami propagation could not be required because of open sea observations 22

23 DONET 2 23

24 DONET 2 Concept A similar seafloor network system (DONET2) is needed for region off Kii Peninsula and Shikoku to decrease disasters caused by the seduction zone earthquakes in the Nankai Trough. Achievement of early detection of earthquake and tsunami in a wider area Advancement of earthquake occurrence simulation Development of Most Advanced and Leading Technologies DONET2 24

25 DONET2 High Voltage System After DONET completion, move on to DONET2 with High Voltage System, then observational area expand to the Nankai seismogenic zone Middle voltage system 3000V High voltage system 10KV Cable length 300km + DONET type NODE 5 (40 ocean floor sites) Cable length1000km + DONET type NODE over 10 (100 ocean floor sites) DONET1 DONET2 25

32 Collaboration and Integration Further, we have to develop more network systems ESONET DONET: JAPAN MACHO: TAIWAN Korea:? NEPTUNE CANADA/US Seoul Tokyo INDIAN OCEAN SOUTH AMERICA Map: Wikipedia The international collaboration is very important 32

33 Connection of NantroSEIZE borehole observatories These observatories will be connected to DONET to assure long-term monitoring. Riser ~ 2.5km hole Riser less ~ 1km hole below sediment layer. Riser less ~ 500m hole penetrating shallow splay fault Location of the borehole observatories are planned within the reach (10km or 20km) of DONET. Connection of the borehole observatories will be funded as a part of JAMSTEC s borehole observatory project (not by DONET). 33
