public abstract class AtkinsonBoore_2003
extends Object
implements GroundMotionModel

Abstract implementation of the subduction ground motion model by Atkinson & Boore (2003). This implementation matches that used in the 2008 USGS NSHM. This model has global- and Cascadia-specific forms and can be used for both slab and interface events. In the 2008 NSHM, the 'interface' form is used with the Cascadia subduction zone models and the 'slab' form is used with gridded 'deep' events in northern California and the Pacific Northwest. In the 2014 NSHM, 'slab' implementations with Mw saturation at 7.8 were added.

Note: NSHM fortran implementations implement strict hypocentral depths that are hardcoded into these implementations as well. FOr interface

Note: Direct instantiation of GroundMotionModels is prohibited. Use Gmm.instance(Imt) to retrieve an instance for a desired Imt.
