Many studies revealed that the Earth medium's lateral heterogeneity can cause considerable effects on the co- and post-seismic deformation field. In this study, the threedimensional finite element numerical method are adopted to quantify the effects of lateral heterogeneity caused by material parameters and fault dip angle on the co- and postseismic deformation in the near- and far-field. Our results show that: 1) the medium's lateral heterogeneity does affect the co-seismic deformation, with the effects increasing with the medium's lateral heterogeneity caused by material parameters; 2) the Lame parameters play a more dominant role than density in the effects caused by lateral heterogeneity; 3) when a fault's dip angle is smaller than 90, the effects of the medium's lateral heterogeneity on the hanging wall are greater than on the footwall; 4) the impact of lateral heterogeneity caused by the viscosity coefficient on the post-seismic deformation can affect a large area, including the near- and far-field.
重力场是反映地球介质密度变化和在各种环境(固体地球潮汐、内部热流、固体和液体之间质量的交换、表面负荷和地震构造运动等)下动力学特征的最基本和最直接的物理量。GRACE(Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment)卫星作为探测全球重力场的工具已经为科研工作者提供了超过10a的全球时变重力场数据。由于GRACE数据存在固有误差,GRACE数据产品需要进行后处理对局部重力场进行研究。回顾整理了GRACE数据后处理中的处理方法,包括高斯滤波法及非各向同性滤波法,位系数去相关法,主成分分析法,小波分解法,Slepian方法,以及顾及先验信息的改进算法等,并对GRACE后处理算法的后续改进和发展进行了展望。
