The original version of this Article contained errors. In the Abstract,
“Based on global statistics and local earthquake occurrence history, we estimated the probability of a successive occurrence of two M8 or larger earthquakes within 3 years globally and along the Nankai megathrust to be 5.0–18% and 4.3–96%, respectively.”
now reads:
“Based on global statistics and local earthquake occurrence history, we estimated the probability of a successive occurrence of two M8 or larger earthquakes within 3 years globally and along the Nankai megathrust to be 5.3–18% and 4.3–96%, respectively.”
In the Results, under the subheading ‘Probability curve for occurrence of successive Nankai megathrust earthquakes’,
“For example, the probability of an M8 + earthquake occurring within 1 day (24 h) and 1 week after an M8 + earthquake along the Nankai megathrust was 1.4–65% and 2.1–77%, respectively.”
now reads:
“For example, the probability of an M8 + earthquake occurring within 1 day (24 h) and 1 week after an M8 + earthquake along the Nankai megathrust was 1.4–64% and 2.1–77%, respectively.”
In Table 1, in the “Probability (%)” column corresponding to "2 weeks" value,
“2.3–85”
now reads:
“2.3–81”
Additionally, the Acknowledgements section was incomplete.
