The movie shows the displacements due to the M9.0 and M7.9 earthquakes in Japan on March 11, 2011 (data, no model!). Each dot/arrow represents a continuous high precision GPS station of which more than 1200 are distributed throughout Japan in a network called GEONET. This is an absolutely unique instrumentation density found nowhere else on the world.

Shows body and surface waves, dynamic slip, and static displacements. Further details and higher resolution video for download at: http://gps.alaska.edu/ronni/sendai2011.html

Visualization: R. Grapenthin, Geophysical Institute, Univ. Alaska Fairbanks.
Data: preliminary GPS positioning solutions provided by ARIA/HPL/Caltech (ftp://sideshow.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/usrs/ARIA). All original GEONET RINEX data were provided to Caltech by the Geospatial Information Authority (GSI) of Japan.

I use GMT ( http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu ) to create individual maps / frames.
