We present a hybrid method for computing broadband strong motion seismograms in the near-field of large earthquakes. We combine complete seismograms at low-frequency with ray-theory seismograms at high-frequency to form a composite broadband seismogram that spans the entire frequency range of interest. In our approach, the amplitude spectra of the two sets of synthetic seismograms are reconciled at intermediate frequencies where their domain of validity overlaps.
We demonstrate the method with scenario earthquakes based on the spatial random-field model for complex earthquake slip [J. Geophys. Res. 107 (B11) (2002) 2308]. The hybrid near-source, broadband seismograms are useful both for detailed source modeling and for incorporating source effects into probabilistic seismic hazard analysis.
