It is based on amplitude measurements of body waves like <a class="reference internal" href="global_mb.html#global-mb"><span class="std std-ref">mb</span></a>, but
with the amplitude measured in a broad frequency range and longer time windows.
Instead of amplitude measurements on displacement data together with the
dominant period, the maximum velocity amplitude Vmax is taken directly from
velocity-proportional records with <img class="math" src="../_images/math/3e38ca2d603956fc616a5148453d32f873cfdbd0.png" alt="V = 2 \pi A/T"/>. The time window for
the measurement can be determined by the duration of the high-frequency (1-3 Hz)
radiation (<span id="id4">Bormann and Saul [<a class="reference internal" href="../base/references.html#id18" title="P. Bormann and J. Saul. The new iaspei standard broadband magnitude mb. Seismol. Res. Lett., 5:698 - 705, 2008. doi:10.1785/gssrl.79.5.698.">38</a>]</span>). This time window usually contains the phases
P, pP, sP, PcP, but not PP. According to the long time window and broad
frequency range used for amplitude measurements mB saturates not like mb.</p>

distance of
20 deg. However, the calibration formula (<span id="id9">Bormann and Saul [<a class="reference internal" href="../base/references.html#id18" title="P. Bormann and J. Saul.

integrated in
<cite>SeisComP</cite> allows the extension down to 5 deg while maintaining consistent magnitudes
at 20 deg and beyond. Therefore, 5 deg is used as the default in
