Estimating Vertical Movement and Slip Distribution During the 2018 Boso, Japan, Slow Slip Event From Ocean Bottom Pressure Gauge Data and an Oceanic Model

Abstract Many slow slip events (SSEs) occur beneath the ocean, and continuous ocean‐bottom pressure gauge (OBP) observations provide useful data. OBPs record both oceanic variations and crustal movements, so we developed a multi‐channel singular spectrum analysis method to remove oceanic variations...

description Abstract Many slow slip events (SSEs) occur beneath the ocean, and continuous ocean‐bottom pressure gauge (OBP) observations provide useful data. OBPs record both oceanic variations and crustal movements, so we developed a multi‐channel singular spectrum analysis method to remove oceanic variations and applied our method to OBPs and oceanic model data. Then components of the oceanic model with good correlations to the OBP data were subtracted from the observed data. This method compensates for the incompleteness of the oceanic model and removes oceanic variations better than use of the original model. We applied the method to OBP data for the 2018 Boso, Japan, SSE to estimate its slip distribution. Comparing slip distributions obtained with and without the OBP data, we found that the distribution obtained using OBP data extended further offshore, and the offshore estimation error was smaller. Our study shows that offshore observations using OBPs are important for characterizing SSEs.
