Abstract

The earthquake inter-event time distribution is studied, using catalogs for different recent aftershock sequences. For aftershock sequences following the Modified Omori’s Formula (MOF) it seems clear that the inter-event distribution is a power law. The parameters of this law are defined and they prove to be higher than the calculated value (2–1/p). Based on the analysis of the catalogs, it is determined that the probability densities of the inter-event time distribution collapse into a single master curve when the data is rescaled with instantaneous intensity, R(t; Mth), defined by MOF. The curve is approximated by a gamma distribution. The collapse of the data provides a clear view of aftershock-occurrence self-similarity.
余震序列中连续地震时间分布的标度分析
利用不同的近期余震序列目录,研究了地震事件间时间分布。对于遵循修正大森公式(MOF)的余震序列,似乎很明显,事件间分布是幂律。定义了该规律的参数,并证明其高于计算值(2-1 /p)。通过对星表的分析,确定当数据以瞬时强度R(t;m),由MOF定义。这条曲线近似为伽马分布。数据的崩溃提供了余震发生自相似性的清晰视图。
