The decrease is 38% and 71% for the Hotan array. After the correction,the location accuracy of all Wenchuan aftershocks recorded by the Nagqu array is improved. For the Hotan array,the accuracy is improved in the slowness estimation for 78% of aftershocks and in back-azimuth estimation for all aftershocks.展开更多
