| Abstract | For a given earth model and hypocenter location, short-period local waveforms are inverted for the six unknown moment tensor rate functions (MTRFs) by a linear procedure. Subsequently, the MTRFs are decomposed into the source time function (STF) and the time independent moment tensor, fully describing the focal mechanism of the event.In case of short epicentral distances, routinely determined hypocenters are usually not accurate enough to be used in focal mechanism inversion. However, introducing hypocenter co-ordinates as unknown parameters leads to a nonlinear inversion problem. In order to solve this nonlinear problem, a probabilistic approach is applied in this study.The a priori probability density function (PDF) for the hypocenter location is given by a routinely used location algorithm. Assuming that all uncertainties can be described by Gaussian PDFs, measurement errors and theoretical errors are estimated. Then the results of the Bayesian approach are the posterior PDFs for both the hypocenter co-ordinates and the MTRFs. Decomposing the MTRFs, the PDFs for the STF and the moment tensor are also deduced. The estimated uncertainties in the moment tensor components are plotted on the focal sphere in such a way, that the significance of the double-couple, the CLVD, and the volumetric parts of the source can be assessed.The method is illustrated through the waveform inversion of a local event that occurred in the central part of the Pannonian Basin. The moment tensor solution for the selected event has negligible volumetric part, implying the tectonic nature of the event. The retrieved mechanism is in agreement with the available clear readings of first-arrival P-wave polarities. The principal axes of the resulting source mechanism also agrees well with the main stress pattern published for the epicentral region. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
