S U M M A R Y We explore the possible theoretical origin of the distance–depth correction q( , h) introduced 75 yr ago by B. Gutenberg for the computation of the body-wave magnitude mb, and still in use today. We synthesize a large data set of seismograms using a modern model of P-wave velocity and attenuation, and process them through the exact algorithm mandated under present-day seismological practice, to build our own version, qSO, of the correction, and compare it to the original ones, q45 and q56, proposed by B. Gutenberg and C.F. Richter. While we can reproduce some of the large scale variations in their corrections, we cannot understand their small scale details. We discuss a number of possible sources of bias in the data sets used at the time, and suggest the need for a complete revision of existing mb catalogues.

体波幅度 mb:尝试合理化距离深度校正 q(Δ, h)

总结 我们探讨了 75 年前由 B. Gutenberg 为计算体波震级 mb 引入的距离-深度校正 q(·, h) 的可能理论起源,该方法至今仍在使用。我们使用现代 P 波速度和衰减模型合成了大量地震图数据集,并通过当前地震学实践要求的精确算法对其进行处理,以构建我们自己的改正版本 qSO,并进行比较与 B. Gutenberg 和 CF Richter 提出的原始 q45 和 q56 不同。虽然我们可以在他们的修正中重现一些大尺度的变化,但我们无法理解他们的小尺度细节。我们讨论了当时使用的数据集中的一些可能的偏差来源,并建议需要对现有的 mb 目录进行全面修订。
