Static stress drop in the Mw 9 Tohoku-oki earthquake: Heterogeneous distribution and low average value

Abstract
Static stress drop distribution and its average value over the rupture area contain important information on the mechanics of large earthquakes. Here we derive static stress drop distributions from 40 published rupture models for the 2011 Mw 9 Tohoku-oki earthquake that are based on various multidisciplinary observations. Average stress drop value over the fault area encompassed by the 5 m coseismic slip contour is not unusually large for each...
