FAQ | J-SHIS

In the subsurface structure data of V3.2, there are depth values from the 0th layer to the 30th layer, but the physical property data have up to 33 layers which is same as that of V2. How should I set the depth and physical property values for the 31st to 33rd layers?

The subsurface structure data of V3.2 was created by connecting the data in Kanto area to the data of V2. Thus, the physical property data of V3.2 is same as V2.

Since maximum layer number of the depth and elevation data is 30 in Kanto, that in V3.2 is also 30. For area other than Kanto, please set the depth/elevation/physical property value of the 31st to 33rd layers of V2 to the values of 31st to 33rd layers of V3.2.

What is the 250m-mesh code?

250m-mesh code is a part of the divided grid square code defined by JIS X 0410/AMENDMENT1:2002.

How can I print the map?

How do I obtain the distribution of the JMA seismic intensity by Conventional method?

On J-SHIS Map, select IJMA in the toolbar of “Conditional Probability of Exceedance (CPE)” tab. Read more

How do I find the probability that shakes will exceed a certain level of JMA seismic intensity at a point for the next 30 or 50 years?

Search the point in “Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Maps (PSHM)” tab, and double-click on the map to display a window giving detail information.

How can I get the waveform data for the Scenario Earthquake Shaking Maps in J-SHIS?

The waveform data are available from Autumn 2011. You can download the data in K-NET ASCII format for each site.
