Forward simulation – Full MT, deviatoric and DC options – Useful for preparation of synthetic data – Useful for a posteriori check of inversion (e.g. for station not used in inversion) ISOLA - New Features
Forward simulation – Synthetic tests revealed possible artifacts for bilateral ruptures ISOLA - New Features wrong ! Gallovic and Zahradnik, JGR 2011
ISOLA - New Features Choosing the low- frequency range for MT inversion by S/N analysis (high-frequency limitation is due to epicentral distance) - each station may have a different freq. range !
ISOLA - New Features Solution Quality VR. SN / CN Variance Reduction (VR) Signal-to-Noise ratio in analyzed frequency band (SN) Source-station configuration, frequency range and crustal model => Condition Number (CN)
ISOLA - New Features Uncertainty assessment -6D error ellipsoid is numerically constructed -Covers effect of the source-station config. and freq. range Zahradnik and Custodio, BSSA 2012
ISOLA - New Features Uncertainty assessment -Semi-automatic determination of strike/dip/rake ranges -Also available for ISO (=VOL) range
ISOLA - New Features Uncertainty assessment Zahradnik and Custodio, BSSA 2012 Does not need waveforms, thus enabling mapping of expected MT resolvability without any earthquake observation [= seismic network design].
ISOLA - New Features Time-function (for fixed MT) -calculated by non- negative least squares - 1 or 2 source option -each source may have a different MT
ISOLA - New Features Time-function (for fixed MT) each source may have a different MT a special case: different time functions of the DC and ISO components of the same source Krizova, Zahradnik and Kiratzi, BSSA submitted Mw 4.9 (AUTH) near Columbo volcano Aegean Sea ISO ~ 50% DC ISO
ISOLA - New Features Special GUI based on Zahradnik & Plesinger, BSSA 2005 and 2010 Corrected records are saved for further use in inversion Automated removal of instrumental disturbances often observed on BB records (e.g. due to tilt)

Application – Tohoku, Japan 2011 (Mw 9.0) near-regional stations period seconds testing ISOLA in an ‘extreme’ case
Application – Van, Turkey 2011 (Mw 7.1) Zahradnik and Sokos, report to EMSC 7 days after earthquake regional stations period seconds a single-source approximation
Application – Van, Turkey 2011 (Mw 7.1) near-regional stations seconds seeking major subevent The deviatoric inversion produced a very large (> 50%) spurious non-DC component due to the finite-extent source effect. Thus the major subevent had to be found by the DC-constrained inversion.
Van earthquake near-regional stations 6-20 seconds: reveal at least 3 slip episodes Uncertainty = other possible scenarios fitting data equally well 19
Application - L’Aquila 2009 (Mw 6.3) Gallovic and Zahradnik, JGR 2012 ISOLA (green circles) validated through comparison with TSVD slip inversion (color) near stations periods 3-16 seconds
Application – Efpalio 2010 sequence, Greece (30 events Mw 2.5 to 5.3) Sokos et al., Tectonophysics 2012 Result: Complex system of shallow normal and strike-slip faults complement the previously known gently dipping structures under Corinth Gulf. near-regional stations periods dependent on Mw (basically above 8 seconds)
Application – local event (Mw 0.2) Benetatos, Malek, Verga J. of Seismology, submitted local stations (up to 3km) depth 1 km periods 0.4 – 0.5 s MT inversion possible down to relatively short periods thanks to proximity of the stations (for which the existing structural model is sufficient)
Conclusion - why to use ISOLA Compact package (“all in one”): From raw records up to publication-quality figures Routine tool for point source inversion (regional to local distances), research tool for complex finite- extent sources Tested on events Mw 0.2 to 9.0 Windows (most user friendly), Linux and MacOs All source codes provided to users Continuous consultations Continuing software development & Manual and Web page
