Dear Sir,
I have some questions about interpolation in spatial databases. In the crustal-strikeslip-3d example, the east_fault
uses data-dim=1
for interpolation, while the main_fault
and west_fault
use data-dim=2
. As I understand it, all of these are points on the fault surface, so they should use data-dim=2
for interpolation. What is the purpose of this configuration?
Another question is about how to create a reasonable spatial database file for slip distribution. Since my fault is dipping, how should I set up the slip file accordingly?
In addition, how should the slip distribution at different points be reasonably arranged?
In the example, there is a data point at the same depth beneath each known surface coordinate.
However, when I try to add a new point among them, I often encounter
[0]PETSC ERROR: Could not find values for initiation_time at.....
In fact, I added more data points, but similar errors still occurred.
Is interpolation related to the distribution of the data?
Should the data be distributed as evenly as possible, rather than having too many known values clustered at a single location?
Thanks!
