<abstract>
ShakeMap is designed as a rapid response tool to portray the
extent and variation of ground shaking throughout the affected
region immediately following significant earthquakes. Ground
motion and intensity maps are derived from peak ground motion
amplitudes recorded on seismic sensors (accelerometers), with
interpolation based on both estimated amplitudes where data are
lacking, and site amplification corrections.  Color-coded
instrumental intensity maps are derived from empirical relations
between peak ground motions and Modified Mercalli intensity.
This ShakeMap describes the event: 20110219016,
162.1 km NNA af Kolbeinsey
</abstract>
<purpose>
As a rapid response tool, the ShakeMap ground motion values are
used for emergency response, loss estimation, assessment of damage
to the lifeline and utility networks, and for providing information
to the general public.

Slight variations in peak ground motions and spectral values
may depend on processing. Corrections or changes in station
and amplitude information are reflected by the authoritative
seismic network. In addition, changes in magnitude may result
in changes to estimated ground motions in areas with sparse
seismic station coverage.
</attraccr>
</attracc>
<logic>
Ground motion data are direct measurements only at the location
of seismic stations; all other data are interpolated (as
described in the citations).  Seismic station coverage varies
in density as well as instrumentation across the region in
question.  Uncertainty in the reported ground motions generally
increases with distance from seismic stations, and in areas of
very low station density may be largely the product of empirical
relationships.  Uncertainties in ground motions may also arise
from inaccurate ground motion amplitudes from seismic stations,
or inaccurate information regarding earthquake epicenter or
magnitude, as reported by the generating network.
</logic>

Included in this version are data available up to the time processed.
Additional data (seismic stations) may be added at a later time.

<procdesc>
Shaking maps are prepared by contouring shaking information
interpolated onto a square grid uniformly sampled at a
spacing of 1 minute (about 1.6 km) throughout California. If
there were stations at each of the tens of thousands of grid
points, then the creation of shaking maps would be relatively
simple. Of course stations are not available for all of these
grid points, and in many cases grid points may be tens of
kilometers from the nearest reporting station. The overall
mapping philosophy is to combine information from individual
stations, geology (representing site amplification), and the
distance to the epicenter or causative fault to create the
best composite map. The procedure produces reasonable estimates
at grid points located far from available data, while
preserving the detailed shaking information available for
regions where there are stations nearby.

Estimation of shaking over the regional extent for an earthquake
in California is obtained by the spatial interpolation of the
measured ground motions with geologically based frequency and
amplitude-dependent site corrections. We use the California
Site Condition Map (California Geological Survey, CGS) maps
of National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP)
classification site conditions as the basis for our site
corrections. These site condition maps have coverage throughout
the state at 1:250,000 scale (Wills et al., 2000). We use the
amplification factors of Borcherdt et al. (1994). In addition,
ShakeMap ground motions in regions of sparse station spacing
are estimated using ground motion regression, initially from
a point location at the epicenter. Later, as information about
fault dimensions became available (in the form of aftershocks,
source rupture models, and observed surface slip), the fault
location and rupture dimensions are used as the basis for
ground motion estimation.

First, peak ground motion parameters are recovered for each
station and associated with a particular earthquake origin time
and epicenter. We then create a coarse, uniformly spaced grid
of 30-km spaced &quot;phantom&quot; stations. Peak ground motions and
spectral acceleration values are assigned to each coarse grid
point using a ground motion attenuation relationship for
rock sites given the magnitude of the earthquake and distance
to each grid point.  In practice, we apply a static correction
to the amplitudes of the regression by using the network-determined
magnitude, predicting the observed amplitudes, and correcting for
an amplitude bias term between the predictions and the data.

Site corrections are then used to interpolate from ground
motions recorded on a fairly sparse, non-uniformly spaced
network of stations to maps showing spatially continuous
functions (i.e., contours).  Prior to interpolation, we reduce
the ground motion amplitudes to a common reference, in this
case bedrock motions. Peak ground motion amplitudes from the
seismic stations are corrected to rock site conditions; and
the observations (corrected to rock) and the coarse phantom
stations (computed for rock) are then interpolated to a fine
rock site grid (roughly 1.6-km spacing). We scale the peak
acceleration (PGA) amplitude with the Borcherdt et al. (1994)
short-period amplification factors while the peak ground
velocity (PGV) values are corrected with the mid-period
factors. Response spectral values are scaled by the short-period
factors at 0.3 sec, and by the mid-period response at 1.0 and
3.0 seconds. The site correction procedure is applied so that
the original data values are returned at each station; hence,
the actual recorded motions are preserved in the process and
the final contours reflect the observations wherever they exist.

Next, the interpolated rock grid is corrected at each point
for local site amplification and instrumental intensity map is
generated by relating the peak ground acceleration or velocity
at each grid point to intensity as described by Wald et al. (1999).
This fine grid is saved and exported to the file &quot;grid.xyz&quot;. A
continuous surface is also fit to the fine grid to produce
the contour maps and GIS formatted maps.

File grid.xyz

Values of the peak amplitudes at the ShakeMap map grid nodes.
File is ASCII text in the following format:

First line is a header, space-delimited, with all of the following:
&gt;&lt;name/CUSPID of event&gt; &lt;mag&gt; &lt;epicentral lat&gt; &lt;epicentral lon&gt;
&gt;&lt;MMM DD YYYY&gt; &lt;HH:MM:SS timezone&gt;
&gt;&lt;W bound&gt; &lt;S bound&gt; &lt;E bound&gt; &lt;N bound&gt;
&gt;(Process time: &lt;time&gt;) &lt;Location String&gt;

The first &apos;time&apos; field is the time of the event.
&apos;Process time&apos; is the time this file was last updated.

For large or historic earthquakes the &quot;Location String&quot; will
usually be the name of the earthquake, otherwise it will be
something of the form &quot;12.1 mi. SSW of Carpinteria, CA&quot;

The remaining lines are of the form:
&gt;&lt;lon&gt; &lt;lat&gt; &lt;pga&gt; &lt;pgv&gt; &lt;mmi&gt; &lt;psa03&gt; &lt;psa10&gt; &lt;psa30&gt;

&gt;pga   = peak ground motion (acceleration, as percent of g)
&gt;pgv   = peak ground motion (velocity in cm/s)
&gt;mmi   = estimated instrumental intensity
&gt;psa03 = spectral acceleration at 0.3 s period, 5% damping (percent of g)
&gt;psa10 = spectral acceleration at 1.0 s period, 5% damping (percent of g)
&gt;psa30 = spectral acceleration at 3.0 s period, 5% damping (percent of g)

<resdesc>Shakemap data for 20110219016</resdesc>
<distliab>
Some USGS information accessed through this page may be preliminary in
nature and presented prior to final review and approval by the
Director of the USGS. This information is provided with the
understanding that it is not guaranteed to be correct or complete, and
conclusions drawn from such information are the sole responsibility of
the user.

These are automatic computer generated maps and have not necessarily
been checked by human oversight, so they may contain errors. Further,
the input data is raw and unchecked, and may contain errors.

Contours can be misleading since data gaps may exist. Caution should
be used in deciding which features in the contour patterns are
required by the data. Ground motions and intensities can vary greatly
over small distances, so these maps are only approximate; when maps
are enlarged beyond the limits of the original data in an effort to
show small areas, the maps are unreliable.

These maps are preliminary in nature and will be updated as data
arrives from distributed sources.

The estimated intensity map is derived from ground motions recorded by
seismographs and represents Modified Mercalli Intensities (MMI&apos;s) that
are likely to have been associated with the ground motions. Unlike
conventional Modified Mercalli Intensities, the estimated intensities
are not based on observations of the earthquake effects on people or
structures.

Locations within the same intensity area will not necessarily
experience the same level of damage since damage depends heavily on
the type of structure, the nature of the construction, and the details
of the ground motion at that site. For this reason more or less damage
than described in the MMI scale may occur.

Large earthquakes can generate very long-period ground motions that
can cause damage at great distances from the epicenter; although the
intensity estimated from the ground motions may be small, significant
effects to large structures (bridges, tall buildings, storage tanks)
may be notable.

The ground motion levels and descriptions associated with each
intensity value are based on recent damaging earthquakes. There may be
revisions in these parameters as more data become available or from
further improvements in methodology.
