- Magnitude of ruptures
Test 1a): Extract Mw for all ruptures from SRF.info, plot them versus area (i.e. Mw vs Area) and compare them with scaling relationships (e.g. the Leonard relationship (2011- Table 6)). Data should be colored based on the tectonic type (which indicates which scaling relationship should be used)
Pass criterion: if all the data sits on the scaling relationship lines, the magnitude of SRFs are correct. Eventually this can be automated, but visual examination will be sufficient at present.
Note: Make sure stable continental region (SRC) of is NOT used. Only use DS and SS equations from of Table 6 of Leonard (2011).
Note: SRF.info contains this information (File Formats Used On GM)
Test 1b) Plot Mw of SRf files (i.e., read it from the srf file) versus Leonard Mw
Pass criterion: If the data are on the 1-1 line, the results are consistent. - Number of rupture realizations per source
Test: Plot number of SRF files that exist in the corresponding directory for that given fault as a function of the source Mw (i.e. number of files vs. source Mw). This should be compared with the parametric model that is described (num rup vs. source Mw).
Pass criterion: When rounded to an integer, the values should be in line with the parametric model. Eventually this can be automated, but visual examination will be sufficient at present. - Lower Seismogenic depth
Test: Plot lower seismogenic depth of a given fault from national hazard model (Stirling et al 2012) versus that from SRF.info (i.e. dbottom).
Pass criterion: There should be two clusters of results on the plot. Some results should be on the one-to-one line (i.e., for the ruptures that have seismogenic depth lower than 12km), the other ones should have dbottom values in the SRF.info that are 3 km above the corresponding values from national hazard model.
Note: (Up untill 18p6 version of Cybershake) the 12 km and 2 km values are hard-coded in the SRF generation code. - Spatial distribution of sources across NZ
Test: Plot (on a map) one realization of SRFs generated for all the faults considered in the Cybershake runs. If faults are not included in a Cybershake run, plot the geometry of them with a different color.
Pass criterion: A researcher will look at the plot and search for anomalies in terms of fault geometries. Also, the researcher should see the faults that are not included in the cybershake runs. - Spatial distribution of sources across NZ based on tectonic type
Test: Plot (on a map) SRFs colored based on their tectonic type
Pass criterion: A researcher will look at the plot and search for anomalies in terms of tectonic assignment. Also, the researcher should see the faults that are not included in the cybershake runs. - Statistical properties of hypocentre locations (comment from BB, for KT to clarify specifics)
Test: for each and every rupture realization extract the shypo and dhypo values and normalize by the strike length and dip width. Plot the empirical distributions vs. the parametric models
Pass: Empirical distributions consistent with parametric model
