Modified Mercalli intensities for some recent California earthquakes and historic San Francisco Bay Region earthquakes
William H. Bakun
1998, Open-File Report 98-584
Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) data for recent California earthquakes were used by Bakun and Wentworth (1997) to develop a strategy for bounding the location and moment magnitude M of earthquakes from MMI observations only. Bakun (Bull. Seismol. Soc. Amer., submitted) used the Bakun and Wentworth (1997) strategy to analyze 19th...
