Three‐dimensional waveform modeling of ionospheric signature induced by the 2004 Sumatra tsunami (2006, background): “The Sumatra, Mw = 9.3, tsunami of December 26th, 2004 [Lay et al., 2005] (0:58:50 UT, 3.3N, 95.8E) was about one order of magnitude larger.”
Evidence of large scale repeating slip during the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake (2011, background): “1 [Lay et al., 2005; Ammon et al., 2005], the rupture of the Tohoku‐Oki earthquake was concentrated on a relatively small area.”
From Sumatra 2004 to Tohoku‐Oki 2011: The systematic GPS detection of the ionospheric signature induced by tsunamigenic earthquakes (2013, background): “[8] The giant tsunami following the Sumatra-Andaman event (Mw=9.3, 0:58:50 UT, 26 December 2004 [Lay et al., 2005]), one order of magnitude larger than the Peruvian tsunami, provided worldwide remote sensing observations in the ionosphere, giving the opportunity to explore ionospheric tsunami…”
W phase source inversion for moderate to large earthquakes (1990–2010) (2012, background): “As discussed by Ammon et al. (2005), Park et al. (2005) and Lay et al. (2005), the amplitudes observed at very long periods (i.e. >500 s) indicate a moment magnitude larger than 9.0 by 0.1–0.3 units depending on the assumed fault dip.”
