    Abstract The precise detection of seafloor crustal deformation is important for understanding various tectonic phenomena, especially the deformation process associated with a seismic cycle. Global Navigation Satellite System–Acoustic (GNSS-A) positioning enables the measurement of horizontal and vertical seafloor deformations. However, vertical motion detected by GNSS-A positioning often has various systematic biases; therefore, the positioning error of vertical motion is typically worse than that of horizontal motion. In this study, we examined one of the systematic bias sources originating from the uncertainty of the reference sound speed profile (SSP) employed in GNSS-A positioning. Using direct oceanographic measurement data, we addressed the uncertainties of using a reference SSP in both cases, where the reference SSP was obtained from direct measurement and the oceanographic data assimilation model (JCOPE2M). We then examined the vertical GNSS-A positioning errors in both cases using the Monte Carlo method: ~2 and ~6 cm in the former and latter cases, respectively. Moreover, we optimized the vertical GNSS-A positioning errors by considering the uncertainty of a reference SSP and other error sources. The optimized vertical GNSS-A positioning errors successfully explain offsets of the campaign solutions deviated from a long-term displacement trend compared with the conventional error evaluations. Although this study focused on the uncertainty of a reference SSP, it is important to carefully evaluate various other systematic error sources to precisely detect vertical seafloor motion.

    Abstract The Nankai subduction zone presents significant seismic and tsunami risks, given its historical earthquakes exceeding magnitude 8 and the expectations of similar future events. Slow earthquakes, common at the shallow and deep plate interface, result from different frictional properties linked to interplate slip deficit accumulation. This study estimates slip deficit rates at the Nankai subduction zone using land and ocean‐bottom geodetic data. Previous estimates encountered limitations, often smoothing slip deficits, omitting observational error differences between ocean‐floor and land data, and relying on homogeneous structure models. To address these issues, we employ a novel trans‐dimensional reversible jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm. This approach dynamically adjusts slip parameters, accommodating data resolution and producing a flexible slip distribution without predetermined spatial constraints. Additionally, it automatically weights data for observational errors and integrates elastic Green functions from a 3D structure of the Nankai region. Our results provide a finer, heterogeneous slip distribution, improving estimates in inland regions. However, limitations remain offshore in areas with sparse data. We revised the spatial distribution of Nankai slow earthquakes and confirmed a good agreement with intermediate slip deficit rates, identifying coupled and uncoupled regions. High slip deficit rates align with rupture areas of historic large earthquakes. Slow earthquakes occur at frictionally weak plate interfaces, and shallow slow earthquakes may result from subducting relief heterogeneities with important pore fluid pressure effects. We introduce an updated distribution of slip deficit rates for the Nankai subduction zone, considering observed slip deficit rates and the fast and slow earthquake occurrence.

    Abstract Global navigation satellite system-acoustic (GNSS-A) positioning is an important geodetic observation technique for detecting seafloor crustal deformation. After the 2011 Tohoku–Oki earthquake, GNSS-A observational networks were extended along various subduction zones, and observational systems have been improved, especially for sea surface platforms, such as the introduction of an unmanned vehicle, the Wave Glider. The aforementioned development of GNSS-A observations has provided a large amount of observational data. Furthermore, GNSS-A positioning methods were recently developed considering the lateral heterogeneity of the sound speed structure. Thus, it is important to develop a software that makes it easy for widespread use of the latest GNSS-A positioning methods. However, there is currently only one open-source GNSS-A positioning software, which may hinder the entry of various researchers into GNSS-A positioning analyses. Here, we developed a new GNSS-A positioning software, henceforth called “SeaGap” (Software of enhanced analyses for GNSS-acoustic positioning), that executes various positioning methods from the conventional kinematic positioning technique to the latest Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-based static positioning technique. We introduce their methodology and demonstrate its application to actual observational data. The software newly added optional prior distributions to the unknown parameters expressing the heterogeneity of a sound speed structure into the MCMC-based static positioning method, and we also applied the new method to actual observational data. In addition to the positioning functions, the software contains various auxiliary functions, including drawing. The developed software is written using the “Julia” language and is distributed as an open-source software. Graphical Abstract

    Abstract It is important to consider horizontal heterogeneity in an underwater sound speed structure to accurately estimate positions of GNSS-acoustic sites. Although large amounts of moving survey data (a sea-surface platform moves around when acoustic signals are transmitted) are required to accurately detect a sloping sound speed structure, the actual observational data do not necessarily include sufficient moving survey data due to sea conditions or observational time. To treat these insufficient data, it was assumed that a shallow sound speed gradient was continuously present up to a fixed water depth (gradient depth). However, the validity of this assumption has not been investigated, and the gradient depth has not been optimized. In this study, we developed a new GNSS-acoustic array positioning method that optimizes the gradient depth using an MCMC technique. To employ this technique, we also developed an approximate technique for rapidly calculating travel time, because the conventional travel time calculation requires high computational cost for integration into the MCMC technique. We assessed the performance of the approximate travel time calculation technique and demonstrated its sufficient accuracy and precision for estimating array positions. Then, we applied the new GNSS-acoustic array positioning method to the actual observational data collected by the Japan Coast Guard and Tohoku University. Using enough amounts of the moving survey data, our method demonstrated the results comparable with the conventional GNSS-acoustic positioning method estimating a sloping sound speed structure; thus, the assumption of the sound speed gradient with the fixed water depth was valid. Moreover, due to the physical restriction of this assumption, our method provided robust solutions even when the observational data contained small quantities of moving survey data with a simple sea-surface track. Although our method still cannot be used in the scenario, where no moving survey data are available, it can work robustly compared with the conventional methods. Graphical Abstract

    Crustal deformation of the seafloor is difficult to observe solely using global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The GNSS-acoustic (GNSS-A) technique was developed to observe seafloor crustal deformation, and it has produced a steady series of successful observations with remarkable results related to crustal deformation associated with huge earthquakes around the Japanese Islands. However, utilizing GNSS-A incurs very large financial and human costs as it requires the use of a research vessel as a surface platform and has a limited observation frequency, which is less than once a year at seafloor stations along the Japan Trench. To conduct frequent observations, an automatic GNSS-A data acquisition system was developed that operates via an unmanned surface vehicle (wave glider). The first observations using this system were performed at a seafloor station off Aomori Prefecture in July 2019. The wave glider was equipped with two GNSS antennas, an acoustic transducer, a microelectromechanical system gyroscope, and associated control and logging units. Data acquisition and autonomous activation of the seafloor stations were successfully executed by controlling the power supply to the payload via satellite communication with the wave glider. The glider rarely strayed off the configured course and the solar panels generated sufficient power to perform the observations although the weather was mostly cloudy. The GNSS-A data processing results show that the position of the station was determined with the same accuracy and precision as in previous observations performed using a research vessel.

    沈み込み帯のプレート境界における巨大地震サイクルに伴う断層すべりの時空間発展を高い解像度で推定することは,プレート境界における力学的特性を把握する上で極めて重要である.本研究では,巨大地震後の地殻変動観測データが過渡的な現象である粘弾性緩和を介して過去の断層すべりに関する情報を有していることに着目し,2011年東北沖地震における 地震間・地震時・地震後の地殻変動観測データを統合して解析(粘弾性インバージョン)することで,高解像度の断層すべりの時空間発展の推定に取り組む.本年度では,昨年度に大枠を開発したReversible-jump MCMC法による断層すべり推定手法を論文として取りまとめ,粘弾性インバージョンに適用できる状態に整えた.論文として取りまとめた内容では模擬データ,及び2011年東北沖地震時変位の実データに対してに本手法の適用を行った.これらに加え,南海トラフにおける固着分布推定にReversible-jump MCMC法を活用し,地震間の実データに対しても問題なく本手法を適用可能であることを確かめた.更に,地震サイクルにおける断層すべりの時空間発展を推定する際に活用する測地観測データの整理を行った.具体的には,陸上GNSSデータ,及び海域のGNSS音響観測データを用いて,余震・GNSS共通誤差・周期変動等の系統的な誤差要因を取り除く手法開発を行い,実際の適用に資する精緻なデータセットを揃えた.一方で,本研究における推定において重要となる東北沖における3次元粘弾体を考慮した変形を表現するグリーン関数については,試行錯誤を重ねており,現在その精査を行っている.

    本研究は,(1)GPS音響結合方式による海底地殻変動観測(以後,GPS-A観測)データ解析の高精度化を図ることで,2011年東北地方太平洋沖地震(以後,東北沖地震)後の詳細な海底地殻変動場を明らかにし,(2)(1)の結果を用いて東北沖地震に伴う地震後地殻変動(余効変動)のモデル化を行う,ことで構成される. (1)GPS-A観測データ解析においては,海中音速の傾斜構造を取り入れた傾斜パラメータと海底局位置(海底での変位)の同時推定を試みた.同時推定では,カルマンフィルタを導入することで海中音速構造の詳細な時空間変化を捉えることを試みた.しかし,海底局位置と傾斜パラメータ間のトレードオフが顕著であり,単一音響測距ごとでの精密測位は困難であることがわかった.一方で,観測時間内で普遍な海中音速の傾斜構造については,一部の観測データにおいては除去できることが判明し,測位精度の改善に成功した. (2)東北沖地震に伴う余効変動のモデル化では,(1)によって改善された測位結果を得るのに時間を要したため,従来手法によるGPS-A観測成果を用いて解析を実施した.GPS-A観測成果と,余効変動要因の一つである粘弾性緩和に関する先行研究のモデルを比較したところ,粘弾性緩和の発生要因である地震時すべり分布モデルの不確定性が余効変動のモデル化に与える影響が大きいことがわかった.そこで,粘弾性緩和の影響をグリーン関数として取り入れること(粘弾性グリーン関数)で,地震時すべり分布と地震後すべり分布の同時推定を行った.その結果,東北沖地震後の海底地殻変動データを加えることで,地震時・地震後ともにこれまでより高空間分解能でのすべり分布を得ることに成功した.このことは,地震が発生した後であっても,海底地殻変動観測などの観測網を充実させることで,地震後の測地観測から地震時の変動を拘束できることを示している.
