Abstract:	摘要： Taking advantage of the dense continuous GPS network data, we demonstrate the effective utility of the method of empirical orthogonal function (EOF) in obtaining the coseismic deformation (vector) field on the crustal surface caused by significant earthquakes. We conduct case studies w.r.t. two earthquakes that have occurred in Taiwan: one off the east coast of Taiwan in 2002 (Event I, Mw 7.1) and one inland in southern Taiwan in 2010 (Event II, Mw 5.7 or 6.3). We demonstrate that, superior to the simple least-squares estimates obtained directly from individual GPS position time series, the EOF analysis is capable of extracting the coseismic deformation in the form of coherent spatial pattern and time evolution. The prevalent common-mode errors in the GPS data are also well resolved as distinctive and separate EOF modes. The extracted coseismic spatial patterns provide evidences linking the regional tectonics with the orogenic process in Taiwan under the plate convergence. We further contrast our EOF results against those calculated via idealized elastic dislocation models, and find notable discrepancies especially for the far field, which can be attributed to the complexity of the tectonic environment of Taiwan. •Two significant earthquakes in Taiwan are examined by using the whole CGPS network data.•The EOF method is used to study the coseismic motion of moderate-sized earthquakes.•The principle coseismic motion can be well resolved from the common-mode errors.•EOF results disagree with calculations by idealized elastic dislocation models. 出版者： Elsevier B.V 出版日期： 2014-12-10 出處： Tectonophysics, 2014-12, Vol.637, p.106-115 資源來源： Elsevier ScienceDirect Journals: Bodleian Libraries collection 版權： 2014 Elsevier B.V. 識別號： ISSN: 0040-1951 識別號： EISSN: 1879-3266 識別號： DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2014.09.011
