Undersea crustal movement off the Tokai District, central Japan, detected by GPS/Acoustic seafloor geodetic observation

We have been carrying out GPS/Acoustic seafloor geodetic observations at a reference point situated off the Tokai District, central Japan, where the Tokai Earthquake is expected to occur in the near future. A linear fit to the time series of horizontal coordinates at the reference point obtained from five campaign observations for the period 2002-2007 gives an intraplate crustal movement velocity, which is in realistic range and implies strong interplate coupling around this region.
