Peng et al, in prep Does Amplitude Control Triggering in Taiwan?
8
Tremor correlates with tides Shelly et al., (2007)

Tremor spectra for the 5 arrays Rubinstein et al, 2008
11
Amplitude variation with 12.4-hr period 12.4-hr tides 30% effect 24-hr probably similar magnitude

Summary & Conclusions Tremor is triggered by very small dynamic stresses from teleseismic EQs (10s of KPa)Tremor is triggered by very small dynamic stresses from teleseismic EQs (10s of KPa) Tremor is modulated by the very small stresses of the earth and ocean tides (~10KPa)Tremor is modulated by the very small stresses of the earth and ocean tides (~10KPa) Ambient stress ~10 5 times strongerAmbient stress ~10 5 times stronger Tremor is occurring on faults that are very close to failureTremor is occurring on faults that are very close to failure –Fluids? Low Friction? Just Close to Failure?
