Probabilities Map’s To Seismic’s Event’s over to 5,5 in Italy

Update to 8th of April 2009 (8:30 AM)

We report two probability maps (Map A and Mab B) for the occurrence of next large events with M 5.5+ in Italy (target events) for the next 10 years. The two maps are calculated by using the same statistical procedure applied to a seismotectonic zonation (MAP A) and to a regular grid (MAP B). The probability maps are updated every 1st of January and after the occurrence of a new target event. For more details on the method see Faenza et al. 2003 and Cinti et al. 2004.

MAP A

The statistical procedure is applied to a seismotectonic zonation.
Zones are supposed to be homogeneous with respect to the kinematics and orientation of the stress field.
The map reports the probability of occurrence of at least one event with M 5.5+ for the next 10 years in each zone.

MAP B

The statistical procedure is applied to a regular spatial grid.
The map reports the probability of occurrence of at least one event with M 5.5+ for the next 10 years per unit of surface (Km²).

REMARKS ABOUT FUTURE TARGET EVENTS

• The localization will be taken from INGV Seismic Bulletin (http://iside.rm.ingv.it/)
• We consider the magnitude Mw that will be taken from Harvard CMT catalog (http://www.globalcmt.org/CMTsearch.html)
