This page will be used to document progress migrating CyberShake to UCERF3

GMPE Downsampling Test

This tests creates a downsampled UCERF3 forecast for southern california. Every rupture that is outside of Southern California (using the white dashed dividing line seen in the figure on the front of the UCERF3 Fact Sheet) is removed. If a rupture is partially outside, it is removed and its rate is added to the largest subset rupture which is entirely inside the region. This results in 64992/253706 ruptures retained for UCERF3 Fault Model 3.1.

MFD Comparison

The following figure shows the resulting MFD following this downsampling proceedure (blue curve). The original MFD (black curve) and MFD were we to just exclude partial ruptures rather than add their rate to subset ruptures (green curve) are also shown. Note that these are nucleation MFDs (as opposed to participation) and only include supra-seismogenic fault ruptures. UCERF3 Subset MFD comparison.png

The following figure shows a participation MFD for the Mojave (S) section of the San Andreas to better illustrate the consequences of applying this algorithm (same colors). UCERF3 Subset Mojave MFD comparison.png

Hazard Curve Comparison

The following figures show the hazard curve calculations using the average NGA-West2 GMPE following this downsampling proceedure (blue curves). The original curve (black curves) and curve were we to just exclude partial ruptures rather than add their rate to subset ruptures (green curves) are also shown. These calculations are for 3 second SA and include site effects (Wills 2006 Vs30 and Z1.0/2.5 from CVM-S4.26).

Aleatory Magnitude Variability Test

UCERF2 applied aleatory magnitude variability to all non-floating rupture sources. This was applied as a truncated Gaussian with sigma=0.12, truncated on either side at 2 sigma.

For example, the SAF S. Mojave characteristic source has 7 ruptures with identical full segment rupture surfaces but varying magnitudes and probabilities. Here are the ruptures and their associated probabilities:

Source ID Rupture ID Magnitude Probability
90 0 6.95 7.77415e-06
90 1 7.05 4.2332184e-05
90 2 7.15 0.000109296016
90 3 7.25 0.00015457721
90 4 7.35 0.00012129413
90 5 7.45 5.2423315e-05
90 6 7.55 1.0574104e-05

UCERF2/CyberShake Hazard Curve Comparison

I calculated a select few CyberShake hazard curves to show the influence of this variability on results (hazard dataset 35 - CVM-S4.26, 3 second SA). The black curves are normal CyberShake curves, and the blue curves have the aleatory variability removed via the following algorithm:

For each UCERF2 rupture where aleatory variability was applied (103 sources which were used in these calculations), I find the mode of the distribution (the magnitude 7.25 rupture for the above SAF S. Mojave example), and modify rupture probabilities by assigning the total source probability to that rupture and removing the other ruptures from the calculation. This is not exactly equal to the mean magnitude for the source as the Gaussian distribution is regularized into delta=0.1 magnitude bins, but it should be close enough for demonstration purposes. Here is how that example source would look after applying this algorithm:

Source ID Rupture ID Magnitude Probability
90 0 6.95 0
90 1 7.05 0
90 2 7.15 0
90 3 7.25 0.00049817459
90 4 7.35 0
90 5 7.45 0
90 6 7.55 0

UCERF3/GMPE Hazard Curve Comparison

We can also do the same test with UCERF3 and the NGA-West2 GMPEs. As expected, aleatory variability is relatively insignificant for GMPEs at least with UCERF3.
