Citation_Information Originator: Cornell University GIS Group Publication_Date: 1999 Title: MENA non-CMT Focal Mechanisms Publication_Information Publication_Place: Publisher: Cornell University /INSTOC Other_Citation_Details: compiled from published papers Online_Linkage: http://www.atlas.geo.cornell.eduDescription Abstract The dataset contains location, time, and focal mechanism solutions for earthquakes in the North Africa and the Middle East. Solutions are included either because they differ from the CMT solution or because the earthquake predates Harvard CMT analysis (i.e., before 1977) or has a magnitude too small to apply CMT analysis (i.e., < 5.5). Purpose Supplemental_Information Procedures_Used Many researchers have calculated focal mechanism solutions for earthquakes in North Africa and the Middle East, using first motions or body wave inversion. Focal mechanism solutions were assembled by the Cornell GIS group from published papers, graduate theses, and personal communications. Those with the P- and T-axes only, or strike and dip only of the two nodal planes, were converted to strike, dip, rake at Cornell using the Fortran program of John Gephart (personal communication). This program also calculates the number of degrees by which the nodal planes differ from orthogonality; this datum became the RAKE_ERR item. All data sets were put into a standard format and combined to make an Arc Info coverage. Revisions Reviews_Applied_to_Data Most solutions have been published (see references). When several sources analyze the same earthquake, the best solution (usually the most recent) was selected.

Note that RAKE_ERR may be the original authors calculated standard error in rake, or may be the Cornell-determined deviation from nodal plane orthogonality. The latter case is so noted in COMMENTS1 or COMMENTS2. Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: Not Available
