14. Local Events Possibly Affecting Computed Position
14.01 Date : 2000-09-01 00:00 UT
Event : See below
Additional Information : The baseline length between Kashima
: and Miura was shortened by about
: 3 cm. The crustal deformation at
: Miura, located about100 km NNE
: of the Izu islands, is caused
: by a dike intrusion at about 3 km
: depth and co-seismic offsets between
: the islands. As of mid-September
: 2000, the crustal deformation around
: Izu islands and the baseline
: shortening had almost decayed.
:
: Date: a few months after the end of June 2000
: Event: a dike intrusion and co-seismic
: offsets between the Izu islands
