Result

After comparing waveform fits based on the two planes of the input moment
tensor, we find that the nodal plane (strike= 300.0 deg., dip= 49.0 deg.) fits
the data better. The seismic moment release based upon this plane is
1.5e+27 dyne.cm (Mw = 7.4) using a 1D crustal model interpolated from
CRUST2.0 (Bassin et al., 2000).
