Felt (IV JMA) at Hiroo, Obihiro and Urakawa and (III JMA) at Kushiro, Otaru and Tomakomai. Also felt (III JMA) at Aomori and Hachinohe, Honshu. Felt in many parts of southern Hokkaido and northern Honshu. Two events about 1.6 seconds apart. Depth from broadband displacement seismograms, based on second event. FAULT PLANE SOLUTION: P-Waves NP1:Strike=23 Dip=75 Slip=90 NP2:Strike=203 Dip=15 Slip=90 Principal Axes: (T) Plg=60 Azm=293 (P) Plg=30 Azm=113 Comment: The focal mechanism is poorly controlled and corresponds to reverse faulting. The preferred fault plane is NP2. RADIATED ENERGY No. of sta: 13 Focal mech.
