How to estimate an earthquake's magnitude rapidly and accurately is a challenge for any earthquake early warning system. In order to reach a balance between accuracy and timeliness, a synchronous magnitude estimation method with P-wave phases' detection is proposed. In this method, the P-wave phases are detected by the changes of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the seismic records, where the SNRs are calculated by the short-term power and long-term power ratio (STP/LTP). Meanwhile, the variations of the SNR are applied to estimate the magnitude of the earthquake. By the statistics of some earthquake cases, a synchronous magnitude estimation model of the variation of the P-wave phases' SNR, the earthquake magnitude, and the hypocentral distance was built. Compared with some other magnitude estimation methods, the suggested method inherits the robustness of the STP/LTP method and is more accurate and rapid than the peak displacement (Pd) method.
如何快速、准确地估计地震震级是任何地震预警系统的挑战。为了在准确性和及时性之间取得平衡,提出了一种利用 P 波相检测的同步震级估计方法。在该方法中,通过地震记录的信噪比(SNR)变化来检测 P 波相,其中 SNR 通过短期功率和长期功率比(STP/LTP)计算。同时,SNR 的变化被应用于估计地震震级。通过对一些地震案例的统计,建立了 P 波相 SNR、地震震级和震源距变化的同步震级估计模型。与其他一些震级估计方法相比,所提出的方法继承了 STP/LTP 方法的稳健性,并且比峰值位移(Pd)方法更准确和快速。
