Abstract
In this paper, empirical mode decomposition technique is used to analyze the spatial slip distribution of five past earthquakes. It is shown that the finite fault slip models exhibit five empirical modes of oscillation. The last intrinsic mode is positive and characterizes the non-stationary mean of the slip distribution. This helps in splitting the spatial variability of slip into trend and the remaining modes sum as the fluctuation in the data. The fluctuation component indicates that it can be modeled as an anisotropic random field. Important parameters of this random field have been estimated. The effect of these modes on ground motion is presented by simulating both acceleration and displacement time histories.
