| Zusammenfassung |
| A homogeneous earthquake catalogue for Greece and adjacent areas covering
the period 1900–2009 is presented, to be used for reliable seismic hazard
studies. The catalogues of Makropoulos and Burton (1981) and Makropoulos et al. (1989),
covering the time span 1900–1985, were updated for the period
1986–2009 using instrumentally determined focal coordinates, except for the
magnitude from the bulletin of the ISC. For Ms, which is the magnitude
scale included in the previous versions, the same procedure applied since
1964 was adopted, using the ISC body wave magnitude (mb) and a
regression equation. In the present update, Mw is also calculated for the
entire period 1900–2009 using a formula derived from all available moment
magnitudes and directly determined by the moment tensor inversion method. Thus,
a magnitude homogeneous catalogue concerning both Ms and Mw scales is
presented. The extended catalogue contains 7352 events, 70% more than the
4310 events of the previous published (1989) version. The completeness test
revealed that the catalogue is complete for magnitudes above 4 for the last
34 yr and that no earthquake with magnitude 6 or greater has been omitted
in the whole instrumental era (1900–2009). |
