- Earthquake source parameters
- 2011/08/23 17:51 Mw=5.65
- The GCMT and USGS W-Phase Mw=5.8 while the regional moment tensor inversion yields Mw=5.65 using the frequency band 0.01 - 0.03 HZ and Mw=5.61 using the 0.02-0.05 Hz passband. This offset between the GCMT values and regional Mw's is often observed for earthquakes and may be due to the use of different velocity models.
- 2011/08/24 00:04 Mw=3.8
- 2011/08/24 04:45 Mw=3.2
- 2011/08/25 05:07 Mw=3.94
- This is shallower and has a different strike
