Conclusions
• For the South Iceland earthquakes the near-field attenuation has a high rate of attenuation (R-2)
• Ground motion model (GMPE) has to include a geometrical attenuation term to accound for the fast rate of attenuation in the near-field
• GMPE based on a physical model can be applied to obtain ground motion parameters and for time series simulation
• For realistic simulation of ground motion time sequences a realistic estimate of duration is important.
