  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Synthetic seismicity simulations have been explored by the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) Earthquake Simulators Group in order to guide long‐term forecasting efforts related to the Unified California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="xref-bibr"&gt;Tullis &lt;i&gt;et&amp;nbsp;al.&lt;/i&gt;, 2012a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;). In this study I describe the viscoelastic earthquake simulator (ViscoSim) of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="xref-bibr"&gt;Pollitz, 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. Recapitulating to a large extent material previously presented by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="xref-bibr"&gt;Pollitz (2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="xref-bibr"&gt;2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;) I describe its implementation of synthetic ruptures and how it differs from other simulators being used by the group.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
