Abstract:
By calibration with the M"SUB L"-scale for Fenno-scandian earthquakes, a regional magnitude formula for Swedish earthquakes based on signal duration is developed for each of the six stations of the Swedish Seismography Station Network. Derived formulae are of the type M"SUB tau" = C"SUB 1" + C"SUB 2" (log tau)"SUP 2" or M"SUB tau" = C"SUB 1" + C"SUB 2" (log tau)"SUP 2" + C"SUB 3"delta, where C"SUB 1", C"SUB 2" and C"SUB 3" are constrants, specific for each station, tau is the recorded signal duration after Sg-wave onset and delta is the epicentral distance. -Author
