<p>mb is the standard body-wave magnitude.

<section id="amplitude">

<h3>Amplitude<a class="headerlink" href="#amplitude" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h3>
 | 
						|
<p>mb is defined on the amplitude of the first few cycles of the P-wave,
 | 
						|
typically a time window of 20 s - 30 s. Only the first few cycles are used to
 | 
						|
minimize the effects of radiation pattern and depth phases, which result in
 | 
						|
complicate waveform signatures.
 | 
						|
In <cite>SeisComP</cite> mb amplitudes are measured on vertical-component displacement seismograms
 | 
						|
in a 30 s time window after simulation of a <a class="reference internal" href="../base/glossary.html#term-WWSSN_SP"><span class="xref std std-term">WWSSN_SP</span></a> short-period
 | 
						|
seismometer. Amplitudes are used from stations with epicentral distances between
 | 
						|
5° and 105° (configurable). The methods for measuring amplitudes are configurable
 | 
						|
in the global bindings.</p>

<h3>Station Magnitude<a class="headerlink" href="#station-magnitude" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h3>

<p>The general formula is</p>

						|
<div class="math">
 | 
						|
<p><img src="../_images/math/557ff47b5e6e082cc7dd08a231e296efbdf54331.png" alt="mb = \log \left(\frac{A}{T}\right) + Q(h,\Delta) - 3.0"/></p>
 | 
						|
</div><p>with A as the displacement amplitude in micrometers, T as the dominant period of
 | 
						|
the signal in seconds, Q as a correction term for depth and distance. mb is
 | 
						|
usually determined at periods around 1s in adaptation to the use
 | 
						|
of the World-Wide Standard Seismograph Network (WWSSN) short-period stations.
 | 
						|
A scatter in the order of +/- 0.3 for the station magnitudes is usual.
 | 
						|
Typically, mb is determined for stations with distances larger than 5° to
 | 
						|
have a distinct direct P-wave phase. A correction term for the distance has to
 | 
						|
be determined empirically, which is quite complicate for distances smaller than 20°.
 | 
						|
This reflects the complexity of the body waves that traverse only in the upper
 | 
						|
mantle. mb saturates at about magnitude 5.5 to 6.0 because the maximum amplitudes of larger
 | 
						|
earthquakes occur at lower frequencies than the frequency range between 0.7 Hz - 2 Hz
 | 
						|
used for the magnitude calculation.</p>
