UCERF3 Task R6 Fault to Fault Jumping Probabilities: Empirical Surface Rupture Database
Viable ruptures • Distance between fault sections (e.g. 5 km) • Strikes can’t vary by more than some amount between neighboring subsections (e.g., 45 degrees) • Strikes can’t change by more than some total amount • along the rupture length (e.g., 90 degrees) • Rakes can’t change by more than some amount between subsections (e.g., 90 degrees) • Ruptures can’t include a given subsection more than • once (e.g., preventing ruptures from looping back on • themselves)
