Hi All,

The recent activity in the Jujuy and Antofagasta areas prompted me to =
try and determine a better estimate of the MI MS correction.  I had =
several quakes from about the same area ranging from 5.8 to over 7.7 all =
within several weeks and all relatively south of my north south sensor.  =
As I tried to enter the correction to match published magnitudes I got =
numbers from .00025 down to .00006 to make the various magnitudes match. =
 What type of accuracy should I expect on magnitude using a correction =
like this?  I used unfiltered data.  Should I use a specific filter to =
get a more standard read?








Hi All,
 
The recent activity in the Jujuy and = Antofagasta=20 areas prompted me to try and determine a better estimate of the MI MS=20 correction.  I had several quakes from about the same area ranging = from 5.8=20 to over 7.7 all within several weeks and all relatively south of my = north south=20 sensor.  As I tried to enter the correction to match published = magnitudes I=20 got numbers from .00025 down to .00006 to make the various magnitudes=20 match.  What type of accuracy should I expect on magnitude using a=20 correction like this?  I used unfiltered data.  Should I use a = specific filter to get a more standard read?
