Station parameters for Tsetserleg and Bolnay earthquakes, 1905 July 9 and 23. Lake Baykal, Russia. 1993). At the first step, we model a nucleation at 17 km depth, near the base of the seismogenic zone, and a rupture propagating down to 30 km, the schizosphere zone (Table 3a).

His notes and maps lay in the archives of the Russian Geographic Society until they were discovered in 1957. M. Rizza, J.F. Finally, we invert first the less constrained parameters, and later on the remaining ones in order to verify the stability of the solution. This article about an earthquake in Asia is a stub. 2002). To use it, it is necessary to know the radius of the cylinder, the length of the recording arm, and the distance from the axis of the rotating arm to the axis of the cylinder.

The 1 direction makes an angle of 80 with the southern segment when 1 is oriented NS, and 60 when 1 is oriented N30. The total duration of the modelled source function is 65 s. The seismic moment deduced from the inversion is 1021 N m, giving a magnitude Mw = 8.

To minimize this problem, we applied the coefficients of the predictive filter obtained from the signal after the gap, to the signal before the gap. 45.2 km from Synthetic Love wave seismograms for a series of reasonable models of the catastrophic earthquakes of July 1905 in Mongolia are generated and compared to observed data, to help constrain the source parameters suggested from older field reports. The Uppsala, Gttingen and Jena stations were on granite, on limestone and on sandstone, respectively. Khovd Russia . The correction done independently for Jena and Gttingen shows a very good correlation (Fig. We have compared for each station the amplification curves without, and with, solid friction using Reid (1910, 1925) approximation which corresponds to an approximate harmonic representation of the non-linear response of the seismometer. The low number of available stations leads us to fix a priori values for the parameters. In parallel, paleoseismological investigations show evidence for two earthquakes prior to the 1905 event, with recurrence intervals of 27004000yrs. Starting at 22 s after the nucleation, it improves the P, SH and SV waveforms. As 1Hz is a reasonable sampling for the digitization of low speed mechanical seismograph recordings and as we do not need higher frequencies, we sampled down the data to 1 second after applying a low pass filter (Butterworth with two poles) anti-aliasing at 2 s. The impact of the low pass filter is negligible for our study, as the record is made at teleseismic distances, and the natural period of our instruments is large, between 10 and 14 s. In order to fill the gaps at the minute marks, we applied a linear predictive filter (Press et al. Indeed, this criterion produces artificial symmetry and is even more doubtful for surface waves, because it perturbs the dispersion. The most probable models suggested are pure strike-slip, striking N280E, dipping north 50 to 90 .

Calais et al. It also propagated 80 km to the southeast along the Teregtiin fault. Notice that in our case, the predominant period is about the natural period of the available instrument (1020 s). 8.3 magnitude earthquake. This implies a difference of less than 5 s between the length of P- and S-wave signals, too short to be observed with certainty. Nevertheless, the shift b of the axis of the arm with respect to the base line must be deduced directly from records. Gao S.S., Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. (151.2 miles), 2008-08-27 01:35:32 UTC The stress 1 varies from N30, at the south, with a form factor R = 0.5 (triaxial compression with 1 vertical), to NS, at the north, with a form factor R = 0 (uniaxial compression).

(1993)(Mo = 2.28 0.56 1021 N m), which is deduced from the surface ruptures and a hypothetical rupture depth of 20 km, is much smaller than our solution (Mo = 3.97 0.47 1021 N m). The polarization of S waves at the Gttingen station changes from NW, at the beginning of the signal, to NE at the end, thus suggesting two different mechanisms. Epicenter at 51.019, 98.15 Morphotectonic analyses carried out at three sites along the eastern part of the Bulnay fault allow us to estimate a mean horizontal slip rate of 3.11.7mm/yr over the Late PleistoceneHolocene period. The fault dip is determined at the surface but it can vary with depth. It implies about 2.4 m of displacement on the central segment and 2.6 m on the southwestern segment, in agreement with the 2.3 m considered by Baljinnyam et al. The average horizontal displacements are of 10 2 m over 200 km, 8 2 m over 100 km and 5 2 m over 75 km (Baljinnyam et al. San'kov V.
Report it! They consider that the duration of the upward motion of the needle is equal to the downward one. We can divide the Teregtiin fault into a north and south segment. 1993). It moves at a velocity that can be adapted between 10 and 30 mm min1. We compared the final signal of the different stations, and we observed a good correlation of the results even though the data were corrected separately. (2003) estimated a left lateral slip rate of 2.6 1 mm yr1 on the Bolnay fault, using GPS measurements (from 1994 to 2002), giving a return period of 4500 1750 yr. Historical seismograms are being used more frequently now, due to the recent efforts to organize the collections, and to digitize the old records (Ferrari 2000; Michelini et al. Okal (1977) proposed a rupture propagating eastwards along a fault oriented EW. 1993). Epicenter at 47.264, 89.859 What is their source history? Epicenter at 50.211, 87.721 If we consider the length of mapped surface ruptures (130 km) and the width of the body waveforms (7080 s), we obtain a very low rupture velocity in the bilateral case. Okal (1977), using surface waves, proposed a total rupture length of about 200 30 km with a rupture velocity of 3.5 km s1. at 04:13 October 19, 1938 UTC, Location: [6], Lasting damage of the earthquake can be seen in the Mongolia special of the Amazon Prime motoring show The Grand Tour.[7]. Hence, we first considered a nucleation at the southwestern end of the mapped surface ruptures, but the fit was poor. The needle is placed at the end of an arm moving in any direction through a cardan system and, in absence of motion, it should be at the vertical of the axis of the driving cylinder. Enkhtuvshin B..

If we consider 1 oriented N30, the best result is obtained for R = 0.5, corresponding to triaxial compression with 3 vertical. If the result of the inversion gives, for one parameter, values inconsistent with field information, we fixed them to stabilize the solution. Within this procedure we considered the following criteria: (1) the signal must never go back in time; (2) upward time equal to downward time of signal and (3) The histogram of slope at 90 must be null. Thus we needed a longer source history. 1987; Chen 1988; Dverchre et al. The rupture was bilateral along the main fault: 100 km to the west and 275 km to east. Therefore, we use all available information (observed surface ruptures, main regional tectonic features, crust and lithosphere structure, etc.) 23.2 km from Bulgan (23.2 miles), 1927-05-22 22:32:49 UTC The nucleation and rupture depths remain uncertain. The average displacement is 2 0.5 m for the horizontal component and about 1 m for the vertical component. The time waveform is modelled by a set of triangular source elements (Nabelek 1984). Most of the waveforms were explained except for the SV wave, since its amplitude and length were underestimated. at 03:37 December 04, 1957 UTC, Location: 1905-07-09 09:40:39 UTC at 09:40 July 09, 1905 UTC Location: Epicenter at 49.709, 98.483 .

Main active faults in Mongolia and the large earthquakes of the XX century (after Schlupp 1996). A continuity of the waveform, during the gap related to the minutes mark, has been obtained using predictive filters. The last earthquake in Mongolia occurred 31 weeks ago: Strong mag. 46.2 km from When looking for surface waves of large earthquakes, we found that the Wiechert instrument was saturated, or that its recording needle was broken. An aftershock of almost the same magnitude occurred in the same location two weeks later.

(1992) and McBride (1995) observed from seismic profiles that strike-slip faults can cut the Moho. ), the most constrained parameters are the azimuth of the segments, the relative position of the segments and the slip angle. The Teregtiin fault has such an orientation that allows for important SH radiation in European stations. The seismic moment released by the July 23 earthquake is four to seven times greater than that of the 1905 July 9 earthquake. This manual step is irreplaceable because no automatic process can separate intersecting traces, despite the recent development of related software (Pintore et al. Larroque C.
The Tsetserleg earthquake is believed to be a strike-slip rupture of a branch of the Bolnai Fault, extending about 190 km.

In 1905 there were about a hundred seismic stations operating around the world (Wood 1921). (6.2 miles). Then the seismogenic zone could be also thick, probably around 2030 km. Then, the two predicted values are averaged with weights given by the corresponding standard deviations. In the case of the Bolnay earthquake, the source duration is 150 s if we suppose a rupture velocity of 2.5 km s1 and a unilateral rupture along the 375 km of the main fault. Historical seismograms recorded by Wiechert instruments are digitized and corrected for the geometrical deformation due to the recording system. It was one of the very few for which detailed data was available. We saw before that the nucleation should be near the western part of the fault.

The variation in amplitude, due to the observed b shift (maximum 33 mm), is less than 1 per cent for an arm length of 450 mm. The total depth of the Bolnay rupture must be equal or larger than the nucleation depth. DeLaurier J.M. (2002) used fault plane solutions from the TsetserlegBolnay sequence (Schlupp 1996) and two different procedures. The first, (1), and third procedures, (3), are the most reliable for estimating the b shift. Therefore, we correct the data for all the deformations for different trial values of b, and then we choose the best b value (lowest error). Fairhead D.. Pintore S.

The Punjab Gov- earthquakes to the west and east of the Kangra rupture In fact, we did not find any record of surface waves other than the one used by Okal (1977). at 01:57 January 20, 1967 UTC, Location: (6.2 miles), 1974-07-04 19:30:42 UTC This adds an inclination to the previous deformations of the signal (Fig. Tosontsengel For the July 23 event, as the surface ruptures along the Bolnay fault are quite pure strike-slip and very linear, we allowed a freedom of only 5 on the direction and 6 on the slip angle permitting a maximal vertical movement of 1 m. The amplitude of the source time function, the scalar seismic moment, the delay of each segment from the nucleation and the depth of the rupture were never fixed. Epicenter at 46.938, 89.399 This is a list of earthquakes in 1905. In this case, a time shift between the components is unacceptable.

This choice allows modelling the whole source and the highest frequencies observed in the signal. Two great Mongolian earthquakes, Tsetserleg and Bolnay, occurred on 1905 July 9 and 23. This implies adding 60 km to the previously mapped fault. The fault displacement during the earthquake was greater than 6 m,[5] and possibly as much as 11 m,[2] and the duration is estimated at about two minutes. Therefore, even though the timing mechanism is common for the two components, the beginning of their minute marks may be different. The Bulnay earthquake of 23 July 1905 (Mw8.38.5), in northcentral Mongolia, is one of the worlds largest recorded intracontinental earthquakes and one of four great earthquakes that occurred in the region during the twentieth century.
