Abstract
The accuracy of teleseismic estimates of moment, fault area, dislocation and stress drop was tested for the case of a thrust fault: the San Fernando, California, earthquake of February 9, 1971. On the basis of P-wave spectra of 25 stations and S-wave spectra of 9 stations, the respective values were found to be 0.7 · 1026 dyne-cm, 570 km2, 45 cm, and 14 bars. They agree well with the same parameters obtained from field observations. It is concluded that Brune's (1970) seismic source model is valid for the area determination of thrust earthquakes. The energy radiated in the form of S wave is estimated to be 5 · 1021 ergs.
