Figure 2. Synthetic model setup for calculating the forward responses, at 2 and 20 km depth. (a–b) example with a thicker, more conductive fault (750 m model cell size, Scenario 1), (c–d) example with a thinner, less conductive fault (500 m model cell size, Scenario 2). Black circles indicate sites on a ∼55 km grid, crosses indicate sites added for a ∼28 km densification around the faults, plus symbols indicate sites added for a ∼14 km densification in a N-S direction, and dots indicate sites added for a ∼7 km densification in a N-S direction.

Top panel (a–d) shows Scenario 1 (750–1500 m wide fault, 5 Ωm, Figure (a and b)); middle panel (e-h) shows Scenario 2 (500–1000 m wide fault, 10 Ωm, Figure (c and d)), bottom panel (i–l) shows Scenario 3 (same as Scenario 1 but all sites on even 0.5 degree (∼55 km) intervals of latitude and longitude were inverted with only long-period data). Stations with short-period data (>0.001 s) are shown as dots, stations with only longer-period data (>10 s) are shown as crosses.
