Abstract
The RNGCHN program calculates a single component of the displacement field due to a finite or point-source dislocation buried in an elastic half space. This formulation approximates the surface movements produced by earthquake faulting or volcanic intrusion. As such, it is appropriate for modeling crustal deformation measured by geodetic surveying techniques, such as spirit leveling, trilateration, Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), Global Positioning System (GPS), or especially interferometric analysis of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Examples suggest that this model can fit simple coseismic earthquake signatures to within their measurement uncertainties. The program’s input parameters include fault position, depth, length, width, strike, dip, and three components of slip. The output consists of displacement components in the form of an ASCII list or a rectangular array of binary integers. The same program also provides partial derivatives of the displacement component with respect to all 10 input parameters. The FORTRAN source code for the program is in the public domain and available as the compressed tar file rngchn.tar.Z in the directory/pub/GRGS via the Internet by anonymous ftp to spike.cst. cnes.fr. This distribution includes worked examples and a MATLAB interface.
