摘要
The authors calculated coseismic deformations at fiducial stations in China caused by the 2011 M9.0 Japan earthquake. The results show that there are obvious coseismic displacements at stations located in the east, especially Northeast China, and the coseismic displacements are in directly proportional to the epicentral distance. The coseismic displacement at the SUIY station is the largest, 3.3 cm. A phenomenon is found in the time series that the speed of horizontal movements at the fiducial stations with obvious coseismic displacement decreased before the earthquake, and this phenomenon might be one of the earthquake precursors.
