The coseismic displacements of the 2013 Lushan Mw6.6 earthquake determined using continuous global positioning system measurements
Based on Continuous GPS (CGPS) observation data of the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC) and the Sichuan Continuous Operational Reference System (SCCORS), we calculated the horizontal coseismic displacements of CGPS sites caused by the 2013 Lushan Mw 6. 6 earthquake. The results...

| Summary: | Based on Continuous GPS (CGPS) observation data of the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC) and the Sichuan Continuous Operational Reference System (SCCORS), we calculated the horizontal coseismic displacements of CGPS sites caused by the 2013 Lushan Mw 6. 6 earthquake. The results indicate that the horizontal coseismic deformations of CGPS stations are consistent with thrust-compression rupture. Furthermore, the sites closest to the epicenter underwent significant coseismic displacements. Three network stations exhibited displacements greater than 9 mm (the largest is 20. 9 mm at SCTQ), while the others were displaced approximately 1–4 mm. |
