time (T_R), where T_R~0.8⁄((f_c2)). Stochastic simulations using JA19 cannot reproduce the sharp change in magnitude dependence of PGA and PGV at M 5.3, suggesting a breakdown of self-similarity. To model this change, JA19_2S is found by perturbing the f_c1 scaling relationship in JA19. For JA19_2S: log(f_c1 (M))=1.474-0.415 M for M≤5.3; log(f_c1 (M))=2.375-0.585 M for M>5.3. In both models f_c2⁄f_c1 ≫1. Seismic radiated energy scales with 〖M_0〗^2 〖f_c1〗^2 f_c2. The ratio f_c2⁄f_c1 scales not only with the ratio of effective stress drop and static stress drop but also with the fault aspect ratio. To explore deviations in frequencies f_c1 and f_c2 for individual earthquakes, we use the double-corner spectrum to constrain the source realizations produced by UCSB Broadband kinematic method (Liu et al., 2006; Schmedes et al., 2013; Crempien and Archuleta, 2016). We demonstrate the fidelity of the technique by modeling the strong-motion recordings from three large earthquakes of the 2019 Ridgecrest sequence.
