Magnitudes


Type Magnitude Station Count
Preferred (mB) 5.8 (± 0.2)  
mB 5.8 (± 0.2) 26
Mw(mB) 5.3 (± 0.4) 17
ML 5.6 (± 0.7) 3
MLv 5.9 (± 0.6) 3
M 5.5 17

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).
