Ground Motion Models

Peter Powers edited this page May 14, 2014 · 18 revisions

Ground motion models (GMMs) forecast the range of ground motions that might occur conditioned on the occurrence of various earthquakes. Internally, every earthquake in a Forecast is parameterized as a GMM_Source, for which ground motions can be calculated. The javadocs (TODO link) provide the relevant implementation details.

Matlab Access

One convenient way to access the models outside this platform is via Matlab. A sample script contains all the necessary instruction to get started.

Ground Motion Model File Structure

Like source models, the corresponding ground motion models are described in a simple gmm.xml file. frmat are that are to be paired with various source models in hazard calculations a
