"Scientific" Improvements
| Functionality | To be included in this version | Might be included | Not this version | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Velocity Model | ||||
| Basin Modeling | Add high priority basins | |||
| VM | DEM extent increase | |||
| VM | VM Size decreased based on depth of rupture - sim duration changed to account for surface arrival times | |||
| Tectonics | ||||
| Subduction | Subduction Interface simulations - pending validation | |||
| Simulation Method | ||||
| SRFgen improvements for shallow crustal earthquakes from validation | Prelim validation needs to be done | |||
| LF | ||||
| 200m simulation realisations | For selected faults only | |||
| HF | ||||
| Using Target dx/dy (stoch file more aligned with srf) | for single segment ruptures | |||
| HF Scaling | HF DT decrease | Scale stoch dx/dy down with area of fault. (when reach X number of subfaults double the dx/dy value) | ||
| Sim methodology improvements | ||||
| Stations | ||||
| New Non-uniform Grid | Update in Christchurch / Wellington Region Finer Grid Real station update Only land stations in all versions of the grid (ref: Notes on lat,lon <-> x,y conversion) Similar number of stations | |||
| Vs30 | ||||
| vs30 improvements | Using geology only. Modified coastal areas with a distance to coast factor. | |||
| Realisations | ||||
| Additional Realisation Parameters (e.g. Magnitude) | Mw - Stress drop perturbation based on Leonard sigma and correlated together slip/rake/rise time perturbations come from the seed we pass to genslip Shypo / Dhypo unchanged from last version | |||
| Change SRF slip seed generation | Randomised rather than same sequence | |||
| Fault Sources | ||||
| ERF | Create custom ERF for cybershake run | |||
| Fault size rounding | Nearest 0.5k / 0.1k | |||
