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.

 | 
						|
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>
