Google Maps does recognise the scale attribute. I tried altering a few of yours on the Greek one and it works fine.



I know it is a long time appearing but all this can be set automatically in the Pro version of QVSData. I am working on it but as you will imagine it is very complex to get all these settings right.

BTW if you have not read your email you have a problem with an h2 tag on you LDEO tab in Earthquake Archives.

You know I have known how to pronounce that for over 40 years but have never seen it written that I recall.

Looks as if something may have changed at EMSC. South America is now part of Europe. In this listing for today there are two Chilean quakes below 4.0 which is the normal cut off as I understanding it for non European events. (This is their coverage area)

Looks as if we now should get Chilean quakes down to Mag 2.5

(Not that we did not have them, just in one place now!)

reply to post by PuterMan


Thanks for that, I fixed it.

Just had a 4.95 Mag 12km deep at West Melton, Christchurch.

Gave us another good stir in the Palms Shopping Mall!

SOURCE

Updated area to Burnham now.

I often just go to the usgs website and leave the world past 7 days EQ map active and refresh, here and there.

I had just checked it not a few minutes ago and they had an EQ listed 30km from Trornso, Norway 4.9 Mag now a few moments later no longer listed, by memory it said, 9.7 deep??? Slightly puzzled by the location as I said I check often just because it interests me. But its no longer on the map, can anyone confirm??

Any reason its not on there now you obviously, since you've posted it saw the same thing. Yet even now its not on the refresh on the USGS site right now?

Trornso, Norway

Mm, and what is installed at Tromso?

Maybe something blew up.

It was indeed deleted from USGS and EMSC so there must have been something. Here is the deleted list for the last 2 days

Nothing on the siesmo closest KEV.IU.10.BHZ.2012.188 on the BUD version. (But see the LHZ LISS version below)

Got it! It was a bad pick from the Vanuatu quake. The KEVO station is listed on the phase data and you can see on this that the Vanuatu was incoming at that time.

KEV ePKPdf 02:46:50.40 -2.1 119.7 345 KEV

Phase data - Vanuatu

Finland, Kevo [IU]

@amcpwoy: Thanks for capturing the original USGS page. I would like to use this as an example of seismo errors.

I have done that now: Earthquake Northern Norway deleted! - gives a bit more detail on the thought process.

I always understood from reading other scientific papers that "poorly constrained" means that there was not enough information to make a more scientific assessment. This is often due to a lack of stations, or malfunctioning stations, at the time of the quake. Constraining a quake in the first place means to make educated guesses for each station that receives the waves about the difference between the P and S wave times, which in turn allows a guess on distance to station, and which when combined with other station guesses, in turn allows a plotting of radii from each station. Where multiple stations radii intersect, there's your epicenter.

If one or more stations are missing from that calculation, (three or more stations are best), then they are going to be missing a triangulating factor, which leaves a higher margin of error in the location or depth of the quake.

Umm, I'm pretty sure that's what he said, but I'm not sure.

WOW 177 pages.....sorry, please disregard my ignorance...

Consider whatever it was disregarded, but you know if you had a question - even if about the start of the year - ask away. Nothing is really settled in the earthquake world until about 2 years after the event!

Thats getting up there eh
Can't say I noticed it here
At the foot of Pihanga volcanic cone, not far from Rangipo Prison, I wonder if all the alarms went off


5.682ML @ 90.8203km deep to be more precise


Dammit I just updated all my NZ graphs this morning too
Heres a little one that puts Tuesdays house rattler in perspective. (Geonet still sticking to 7.148ML so far)

I have just updated my El Hierro page (See my signature).

I have to say that at present I don't see this going anywhere. The trend of the number of events per day just goes down. Looks as if it may be a bit of a non event despite the prognostications of the experts.

Well just to prove me wrong it woke up again this afternoon - remember this is Mag 2.5+ only

Re those "all other NZ quakes" on the graph, I used the 3287 I have saved on file, just did a new download and there are now 3597, which won't change the % all that much

add 5118.5 TTNT for the 5.7 Rangipo 5.7ML to the grey area

El Hierro number of events yesterday (07 Jul) was 107 Mag 1.5+ and so far today by 08:30UTC there have been 16.
