Correction to “A chemical kinetic approach to estimate dynamic shear stress during the 1999 Taiwan Chi-Chi earthquake”

Abstract

[1] In the paper ‘‘A chemical kinetic approach to estimate dynamic shear stress during the 1999 Taiwan Chi-Chi earthquake’’ by T. Hirono et al. (Geophysical Research Letters, 34, L19308, doi:10.1029/2007GL030743), the equation for estimation of dynamic shear stress, the calculations provided for stresses normal to the fault, and the resultant shear stresses and frictional coefficients were incorrect. [2] The fourth sentence of paragraph 1 should read as follows. [3] The dynamic shear stress during the Chi-Chi earthquake was deduced to be 1.37 MPa, and the frictional coefficient to be 0.03–0.08. [4] The second sentence of paragraph 11 including equation (9) should read as follows. [5] From equations (2), (4), (8), and f(a) = (1 a), a in the center of the fault zone (x = 0) is expressed as
