Magnitudes


Type Magnitude Station Count
Preferred (mB) 5.9 (± 0.2)  
mB 5.9 (± 0.2) 16
Mw(mB) 5.5 (± 0.4) 71
ML 6.1 (± 0.3) 2
MLv 5.9 (± 0.5) 2
M 5.5 71

GeoNet combines magnitudes into a summary magnitude, M, which consists of a weighted average of the individual magnitudes and attempts to be a best possible compromise between all magnitudes for a range of earthquake sizes. Summary magnitude for GeoNet is then defined as:

M = (2 * MLv + (0.4 * number_of stations(Mw(mB)) - 1) * Mw(mB)) / (2 + (0.4 * number_of_stations(Mw(mB)) - 1))

Where MLv is local magnitude calculated on the vertical component and Mw(mB) is a Mw estimation based of mB by Bormann and Saul (2008).
