Abstract

Abstract

A massive Mw 9.0 earthquake occurred on 11 March 2011, off the Pacific coast of the east of Miyagi, Japan. The earthquake caused severe surface dislocations and launched a tsunami. In this paper, our developed software UniP, based on the precise point positioning mode, is used to extract the co-seismic and post-seismic surface movement information from IGS data and Chinese coastal GPS data.The results show: (1) The co-seismic surface deformation processes are clearly recorded by the GPS kinematic positioning results, and these elastic deformation on CHAN and NCST sites is up to 15 cm. (2) The massive earthquake did not cause obvious permanent position shift of GPS sites in China, because of distant range. The maximum eastward shift on CHAN is(1.8±0.11)cm. (3) The travel time is almost 10 minutes for seismic wave to NCST and NLHT site. The propagation velocity of seismic wave is about 14 times faster than that of tsunami. So the arrival time difference may be enough for the tsunami prediction. These results reveal that GPS technology can provide valuable basic data for earthquake monitoring and dynamic characteristics. It further demonstrates the application potential of Chinese Coastal GPS monitoring system in seaquake monitoring and tsunami warning services.
