Toward real-time estimation of regional moment tensors

Michael E. Pasyanos, Douglas S. Dreger and Barbara Romanowicz

Seismographic Station Department of Geology and Geophysics University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, California 94720

Abstract

Recent advances in broadband station coverage, continuous telemetry systems, moment-tensor procedures, and computer data-processing methods have given us the opportunity to automate the two regional moment-tensor methods employed at the UC Berkeley Seismographic Station for events in northern and central California. Preliminary solutions are available within minutes after an event has occurred and are subsequently human reviewed. We compare the solutions of the two methods to each other, as well as the automatic and revised solutions of each individual method. Efforts are being made to establish robust criteria for determining accurate solutions with human review and to fully automate the moment-tensor procedures into the already-existing automated earthquake-location system.
