Harvard Moment Tensor Solution
Magnitude 9.1 OFF THE WEST COAST OF NORTHERN SUMATRA
Sunday, December 26, 2004 at 00:58:53 UTC
This is a REVISED solution for today's earthquake near Sumatra.
The solution includes approximately the first 9 hours of data
recorded after the earthquake. Owing to the large size of the
earthquake, the short-period cutoff for the analysis was set
to 300 s.
