Relocation of the 1999 Chi-Chi Earthquake in Taiwan

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2000
The 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan represented the island’s largest inland seismic event of the last century. This earthquake severely struck the western-middle part of the island. Abundant high-resolution digital seismic data were recorded by two seismic networks operated by the Central Weather Bureau (CWB). In this paper, we combined data from two
