Empirical relations for conversion of surface- and body-wave magnitudes to moment magnitudes in China’s seas and adjacent areas

An earthquake catalog based on a unified magnitude scale is an important prerequisite for analyses of seismic activities and seismic hazards. To unify the magnitude scales of earthquakes in China’s seas and neighboring regions, we developed conversion relationships between surface- and body-wave mag...

description An earthquake catalog based on a unified magnitude scale is an important prerequisite for analyses of seismic activities and seismic hazards. To unify the magnitude scales of earthquakes in China’s seas and neighboring regions, we developed conversion relationships between surface- and body-wave magnitudes and the global centroid moment tensor (GCMT) and National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) moment magnitudes for shallow and intermediate- and deep-focus earthquakes in China’s seas and adjacent areas. We employed data collected by the Chinese Earthquake Network Center, GCMT, and NIED for earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 and higher in China’s seas and neighboring regions from 1976 to 2018. We used the linear least squares regression method and the orthogonal regression method to fit the seismic data under different magnitude ranges and different focal depth ranges. The results provided empirical formulas to unify magnitude scales for the earthquakes in China’s seas and neighboring regions and also provided an important basis for seismic catalog integrity analyses and seismic activity studies for this area. The results are significant for seismic hazard analyses, seismic zoning, and mid- and long-term forecast analyses of seismic activities in the area.
