We perform a systematic survey of triggered deep 'non-volcanic'tremor beneath the Central
Range (CR) in Taiwan for 45 teleseismic earthquakes from 1998 to 2009 with M w= 7.5 and
epicentral distance= 1000 km to the broad-band station TPUB. Triggered tremors are
visually identified as bursts of high-frequency (2-8 Hz), non-impulsive and long-duration
seismic energy that are coherent among many seismic stations and modulated by the
teleseismic surface waves. Out of the 45 earthquakes, we identified nine teleseismic events …

Non-volcanic tremor triggered by teleseismic surface waves was recently discovered in the
Island of Taiwan by Peng and Chao (GJI, 2008). They reported clear bursts of tremor on the
weak basal detachment fault beneath the Central Range triggered by the surface waves of
the 2001 Mw7. 8 Kunlun earthquake in Tibet. Here we perform a systematic survey of tremor
triggered around Taiwan for the 45 teleseismic earthquakes with Mw≤ 7.5 and depth< 100
km since 1998. The data analyzed in this study was recorded by the Broadband Array in …
