Non-volcanic deep low-frequency tremors accompanying slow slips in the southwest Japan subduction zone

K Obara, H Hirose - Tectonophysics, 2006 - Elsevier
Non-volcanic deep low-frequency tremors in southwest Japan exhibit a strong temporal and
spatial correlation with slow slip detected by the dense seismic network. The tremor signal is …
