Magnitudes


Type Magnitude Station Count
Preferred (mB) 4.8 (± 0.6)  
MLv 6.0 1
mB 4.8 (± 0.6) 6
Mw(mB) 4.1 (± 0.6) 6
M 5.2 6

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).
