Figure 6. Example of the effect that the transfer function has on the stochastic slip distribution for a M 9 event.

(a) Original stochastic slip distribution. The depth of Gaussian function has been set to 40 km which is inside the range observed for the largest events in the dynamic simulations. (b) The slip distribution after the transfer function generated from earthquakes in the 9.0–9.2 magnitude bin which is plotted in (c).
