Detailed Description

Map of the Oroville Dam showing maximum‐likelihood location of the 14 February 2017 MD 1.0 event (confidence ellipsoid east–west: 2.6 km; north–south: 0.8 km; vertical: 1.6 km). Lines represent the particle‐motion backazimuths for the 10 largest magnitude events in February 2017. The maximum‐likelihood location of the 25 April 2017 controlled blast (star) (confidence ellipsoid east–west: 3.7 km; north–south: 1.8 km; vertical: 2.2 km) and the true blast location (circle) are also shown.
