Global Magnitude of the Earthquakes
A.V. Guglielmi, B.I. Klain
TL;DR
This paper introduces the concept of global daily magnitude (GDM) for earthquakes, providing a formula to calculate it from Richter scale data, aiming to aid seismological research.
Contribution
It proposes a new global earthquake magnitude index (GDM) and a formula for its calculation from existing Richter scale data.
Findings
GDM can be calculated from earthquake strength data.
GDM may be useful in seismological studies.
An example calculation of GDM is provided.
Abstract
The idea of the global daily magnitude (GDM, unit designation is Mg) of earthquakes is introduced. The formula is given for calculating Mg from earthquake strength data, characterized by the classic magnitude M on the Richter scale. An example of the calculation of Mg is given. It is noted that the Mg index may be useful in studying a number of seismological problems.
