Magnitudes


Type Magnitude Station Count
Preferred (Mw(mB)) 3.0 (± 0.4)  
MLv 4.2 (± 0.3) 3
mB 4.0 (± 0.1) 7
Mw(mB) 3.0 (± 0.4) 7
M 3.6 7

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).
