a Time development of simulated slip velocity during Cycle 3. Horizontal axis: depth (km) through the approximate center of the Miyagi-ken-Oki (MYG) patch (along the C–C′ line). Vertical axis: 0 years at the time of the first M ~ 9 earthquake during Cycle 3 (similar to Fig. 3). Red horizontal lines: timing of M > 7 or M ~ 9 earthquakes shown in Fig. 5. Black dashed line: center of the MYG patch; solid vertical lines: a radius of 23 km from the center of MYG patch. b Enlarged diagram of (a) for T′ = − 15 to 15 years
