简介:严肃恢复和气候实验(优雅)观察被用来检测co地震并且seismic以后严肃地变化由于Mw=9.3苏门答腊安达曼群岛地震,那发生在2004年12月26日。这篇文章集中于调查这巨大的地震引起的一些重力的效果。我们用GRACELevel-2每月球形的泛音计算了大地水准面高度变化,相等的水高度(EWH)变化,和严肃变化(嘘)得克萨斯的大学释放的答案集中研究(UTCSR)空格。优雅结果由一个脱臼模型与预言同意很好并且与结果由一些以前的学者获得了一致。特别地,我们计算了严肃坡度变化的三个部件并且发现他们能由于信号的扩大的某个度更易感知地恢复地震相关的签名。一个positive-negative-positive模式在严肃坡度变化的水平部件的空间分发支配,它可能在蘸滑倒地震的uplift-subduction效果引起的外壳的密度分发被归因于异例。而且,重力坡度变化的纬度部件显示出纵贯的条纹的强壮的抑制,它由于二颗优雅卫星的沿着轨道大小。我们断定在纬度严肃坡度变化的positive-negative-positive模式将是一个更敏感的特征由优雅数据检测一些主要蘸滑倒地震的变丑。
