Temporal evolution of the background seismicity rate μ for earthquakes in 2011 in the region shown in Fig. 7. Horizontal bars represent the estimation period, and vertical bars represent error ranges, calculated as the difference between results obtained using a precursory period (from the beginning of 2011) to the target period, and results obtained without using a precursory period. Note that the 2011 Tohoku earthquake (Mw 9) occurred on 11 March 2011, and the largest-magnitude local earthquake (Mw ~6) in this region occurred 4 days later. For reference, the background seismicity rate μ in 2010 and 2012 was 0.03 and 0.09, respectively. The cutoff magnitude used to estimate μ is 1.0.
