    # Ground Motion Models (GMMs)
    
    Ground motion models (GMMs) forecast the range of ground motions that may occur conditioned on
    the occurrence of various earthquakes. The following tables list the GMMs supported in NSHMs. It
    is not uncommon for a GMM to have multiple concrete implementations. For instance, most subduction
    GMMs, as published, support both interface and intraslab events.
    
    [[_TOC_]]
    
    * How to add links to javadocs? ...not possible in wiki (separate repo)? except with external
      http gitlab urls?
    * include NSHM that used each model?
    * save horizontal space in table by moving notes to table footnotes. this has to be done manually
      (see NGA-East model IDs), since markdown footnotes always appear at the bottom of the page
    
    **gmm-config.json** Required adjacent to any `gmm-tree.json`. This file specifies the applicability
    distance of the associated GMM's and any additional epistemic uncertainty model and properties to
    apply to median ground motions derived from the GMM's. This uncertainty is distinct from the
    built-in aleatory variability (standard deviation or sigma) of the GMM's themselves. Use `null`
    values to indicate that no additional uncertainty model should be applied. Supported uncertainty
    models are detailed in the [ground motion models](ground-motion-models) section. For example:
    
    ```json
    {
      "max-distance": 300.0,
      "epistemic-model": null,
      "epistemic-tree": null
    }
    ```
    
    ## GMM Configuration
    
    A `gmm-config.json` file governs how GMMs are applied in a NSHM. It specifies a maximum distance
    at which a GMM is applicable. It may also specify a model of additional epistemic uncertainty and
    the logic tree used to apply it. If no such model is required, the `epistemic-model` and
    `epistemic-tree` members must be `null`. See [Uncertainties in NSHMs](uncertainties-in-nshms) for
    details on additional epistemic uncertainty in GMMs.
    
    ```json
    {
      "max-distance": 300.0,
      "epistemic-model": "NGA_WEST2",
      "epistemic-tree": [
        { "id": "epi+", "weight": 0.185, "value": 1.0 },
        { "id": "none", "weight": 0.63, "value": 0.0 },
        { "id": "epi-", "weight": 0.185, "value": -1.0 }
      ]
    }
    ```
