inverseTAPE: Inverse Moment Tensor

Description

Inverse moment tensor from Tape angles.

Usage

inverseTAPE(GAMMA, BETA)

Arguments

GAMMA

Longitude, degrees

BETA

CoLatitude, degrees

Value

• Moment tensor list:
• Va
  vector, First solution
• Vb
  vector, First solution

Details

Uses Tape and Tape lune angles to estimate the moment tensor. This function is the inverse of the SourceType calculation. There are two solutions to the systems of equations.

Vectors are scaled by the maximum value.

Examples

lats = seq(from = -80, to = 80, by=10)
    lons = seq(from=-30, to=30, by=10)

i = 3
j = 3
 u =  inverseTAPE( lons[i], 90-lats[j] )
