Objectives
The study aims to evaluate the accuracy of baseline correction methods
by comparing with GPS displacement. The strong motions recorded at
the Mw9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquake occurred on march 11, 2011 were used
in this study. The baseline correction method proposed by Wang et al.
(2011) was used in this study. Since results from GPS data have level of
accuracy of some millimeters for static coordinates and few centimeters
for Kinematic Precise Point Positioning (KPPP), GPS results have been
used as the true data.

The displacement obtained from GEONET were employed first to obtain the
spatial distribution of coseismic by Kriging. Then, results from Kriging were
compared with the displacements obtained from acceleration records. Reliable
results were found only for the acceleration records at bedrock and high level of
variability was observed for the coseismic displacements evaluated from the
acceleration records at the surface.
