Electronic Supplement to
Developing Seismogenic Source Models Based on Geologic Fault Data

Table S1. INGV Seismogenic Source Model Parameters and Definitions

The INGV seismogenic source model is managed by a relational MapInfo spatial database. Table B1 defines only the parameters in the database that were discussed in the text, except for the geographic coordinates of the mapped features that are stored implicitly in the GIS files. This table is not intended to depict the entire data model or to be exhaustive. For further data model and data content information see Basili et al. (2008) and Basil et al. (2009) and visit the DISS web site:

Field name Variable Description
IDSource
Char(7) The DISS-ID assigned to the record.
SourceName
Char(64) Seismogenic source name, taken from local geographical names based on the location of the source.
CompiledBy
Char(64) Name(s) of the compilers of the record.
LatestUpdate
Date Date of the last update of the record.
Preferred
Logical Logical value used to indicate if the record complies with predefined requirements. It can be used for generating automated selections or controlling show/hide options of records.

Parameters

Field name Variable Description Units
MinDepth Decimal(6, 1) Value of the minimum depth of the source, or depth of the upper edge, from sea level. kilometer
MaxDepth Decimal(6, 1) Value of the maximum depth of the source, or depth of the lower edge, from sea level. kilometer
StrikeMin Smallint Minimum value of the source direction, between 0 and 2π clockwise from north following the right-hand rule (Aki and Richards 1980). degree
StrikeMax Smallint Maxmum value of the source direction, between 0 and 2π clockwise from north following the right-hand rule. degree
DipMin Smallint Minimum value of the dip angle between 0 and π/2 from the horizontal. degree
DipMax Smallint Maxmum value of the dip angle between 0 and π2 from the horizontal. degree
RakeMin Smallint Minimum value of the hanging-wall sense of movement between 0 and 2π measured counterclockwise from the strike direction. degree
RakeMax Smallint Maxmum value of the hanging-wall sense of movement between 0 and 2π measured counterclockwise from the strike direction. degree
SlipRateMin Decimal(5, 2) Minimum value of slip as a function of time. mm/year
SlipRateMax Decimal(5, 2) Maximum value of slip as a function of time. mm/year
MaxMag Decimal(3, 1) Maximum value of earthquake magnitude in the moment-magnitude scale (M). scalar
