Abstract
Centroid-moment-tensor (CMT) solutions are presented for 1087 earthquakes that occurred during 2003. The solutions are obtained using the method of Dziewonski et al. [Dziewonski, A.M., Chou, T.-A., Woodward, J.H., 1981. Determination of earthquake source parameters from waveform data for studies of global and regional seismicity. J. Geophys. Res. 86, 2825-2852] and applying corrections for aspherical Earth structure as represented by the whole-mantle shear-velocity model SH8/U4L8 of Dziewonski and Woodward [Dziewonski, A.M., Woodward, R.L., 1992. Acoustic imaging at the planetary scale. In: Emert, H., Harjes, H.-P. (Eds.), Acoustical Imaging, vol. 19. Plenum Press, New York, pp. 785-797]. The model of inelastic attenuation of Durek and Ekström [Durek, J.J., Ekström, G., 1996. A radial model of inelasticity consistent with long-period surface wave attenuation. Bull. Seism. Soc. Am. 86, 144-158] is used to predict the decay of the waveforms. The focal mechanisms of the largest, or otherwise significant, earthquakes of 2003 are reviewed.
