| Surface Wave Magnitude | |||||||||||||
| Ms = log (A/T) + 1.66 log D + 3.3 | |||||||||||||
| A is the maximum ground amplitude in micrometers (microns) of the vertical component of the surface wave within the period range 18 <= T <= 22. | |||||||||||||
| T is the period in seconds. | |||||||||||||
| D is the distance in geocentric degrees (station to epicenter) and 20° <= D <= 160°. | |||||||||||||
| No depth corrections are applied, and Ms magnitudes are not generally computed for depths greater than 50 kilometers. | |||||||||||||
