A new reference attenuation model for calculating local magnitude (⁠ML⁠) for New Zealand earthquakes is derived. An earlier reference model, denoted NZ16, was developed in 2016 as a possible alternative to the classical reference model used by GeoNet for earthquakes located by the SeisComP processing system since January 2012. It aimed to provide a logA0 attenuation relation of the amplitude with the hypocentral distance applicable to the New Zealand region and to make ML more consistent with moment magnitude (⁠Mw⁠). For the present update, denoted NZ20, a much larger set of regional moment tensor solutions and corresponding station amplitudes is available. Residual analysis is used to screen the individual station amplitude readings and then to exclude observations from periods of time when the station residuals were consistently anomalous. Effects of other possible sources of bias on the attenuation relation are also examined, including unreliable locations of earthquakes with large azimuthal gaps and the saturation of ML in large earthquakes. An extra explanatory variable is added to the attenuation relation to account for dependence on hypocentral depth, so the updated local magnitude is consistent with Mw across the full range of depths at which earthquakes occur in New Zealand. Furthermore, to counteract possible sources of bias, the data set for analysis is restricted. Earthquakes above the approximate amplitude saturation threshold of Mw 6.6, as well as those with azimuthal gaps greater than 270°, are excluded.

与矩震级一致的新西兰地震依赖深度的本地震级量表

推导了一个新的参考衰减模型,用于计算新西兰地震的局部震级(⁠ML⁠)。自2016年以来,较早的参考模型(称为NZ16)被开发出来,可以替代Geos用于自2012年1月以来由SeisComP处理系统定位的地震的经典参考模型。该模型的目的是提供振幅与下心线的logA0衰减关系。适用于新西兰地区的距离,并使ML与力矩大小更一致(⁠Mw⁠)。对于表示为NZ20的当前更新,可以使用更大的一组区域矩张量解和相应的站幅。残差分析用于筛选各个站点的振幅读数,然后从站点残差始终异常的时段中排除观测值。还研究了其他可能的偏置源对衰减关系的影响,包括方位间隙较大的地震的不可靠位置以及大地震中ML的饱和度。在衰减关系中添加了一个额外的解释变量,以说明对震源深度的依赖性,因此,在新西兰发生地震的整个深度范围内,更新的局部震级与Mw一致。此外,为了抵消可能的偏差来源,用于分析的数据集受到限制。排除了超过大约6.6 Mw的振幅饱和阈值的地震以及方位角间隙大于270°的地震。包括方位角间隙大的地震的不可靠位置以及大地震中ML的饱和度。在衰减关系中添加了一个额外的解释变量,以说明对震源深度的依赖性,因此,在新西兰发生地震的整个深度范围内,更新的局部震级与Mw一致。此外,为了抵消可能的偏差来源,用于分析的数据集受到限制。排除了超过大约6.6 Mw的振幅饱和阈值的地震以及方位角间隙大于270°的地震。包括方位角间隙大的地震的不可靠位置以及大地震中ML的饱和度。在衰减关系中添加了一个额外的解释变量,以说明对震源深度的依赖性,因此,在新西兰发生地震的整个深度范围内,更新的局部震级与Mw一致。此外,为了抵消可能的偏差来源,用于分析的数据集受到限制。排除了超过大约6.6 Mw的振幅饱和阈值的地震以及方位角间隙大于270°的地震。因此,在新西兰发生地震的整个深度范围内,更新后的局部震级与Mw一致。此外,为了抵消可能的偏差来源,用于分析的数据集受到限制。排除了超过大约6.6 Mw的振幅饱和阈值的地震以及方位角间隙大于270°的地震。因此,在新西兰发生地震的整个深度范围内,更新后的局部震级与Mw一致。此外,为了抵消可能的偏差来源,用于分析的数据集受到限制。排除了超过大约6.6 Mw的振幅饱和阈值的地震以及方位角间隙大于270°的地震。
