Quake Watch 2013

reply to post by Olivine

cool, I see the bigger S even for the smaller quake

yes I got all riled up with about the new version of ATS ( didn't like the test run) but decided to get with the youngsters and changed my signature ( no colours) and then changed my avatar as well
its the "confused" smiley

but I'm still getting the old ATS now, 5 days after the launch was supposed to happen

from this quake
CRETE, GREECE
Magnitude: 5.0mb
Depth: 10 km
Date time 2013-09-08 04:59:30.0 UTC
Location 34.80 N ; 25.01 E

Witness location : Heraklion (Greece) (61 km N from epicenter)
I was just about to wake up when I was alarmed by the faint tremble and noise
to me, it was of instant duration (`2 sec)

maybe things get lost in translation, but I find it pretty amazing that someone can know they are about to wake up while they are still asleep
I find I just wake up without any premonitions or plans to do so

but I find it pretty amazing that someone can know they are about to wake up while they are still asleep

Central European Summer Time = UTC +2 makes it 7am. Alarm set for 7 am probably so just about to wake up when the quake did it instead of the alarm clock.

Just my guess.

Alert for NZ. Energy Released on 08/09/2013 was below 10, at 8.372TTNT
usually within a few days a m5+ hits

just a quick glnce at GFZ list shows the whole planet is pretty quiet, m5.2 x 2 at Santa Cruz Is the biggest

NB the new ATS style kicked in this morning here when I opened........... I was ready with my minimalist avatar and colourless signature
next thing you know I'll be getting a smart phone so I can post from work at 49c a minute

doesn't really count though, as is located 3/4 the distance to Raoul Island.

Still on ALERT, take that quakes value of 604.795 TTNT off the daily total of 609.411TTNT for the 10th Sept UTC leaves just 4.616TTNT, which is not much, and only 27 quakes total too, thats like the old 1-2 a day low count before Geonets SeisComp3 came on line with the auto readings in 2012.

Oh? odd in what way?

One positive thing out of the new ATS 5.3 version is that when you upload images, the latest added are first.

well you must fell special to correct others wrongs... to me it seemed an odd quake as in recent activity..
wwooww

Never mind...fried brain!

reply to post by steve95988

you presuppose that recent activity is connected in some way?
what way?
perhaps this is more likely the start of a new set of activity, because this was on a spreading ridge, not quite in the middle of the Pacific Ocean

California Major Quake might occur with in .....Twin Valley and Goat Mountain. Activity is high here.

Magnitude: 5.3 (Mw)

up to the end of August, according to NOA, there were;
mag1= 738, ,mag2= 41, mag3=71, mag4= 7
total= 1231 aftershocks

That is quite a few for what is considered a single "moderate" quake !

I guess it is all a matter of perception. From Muzzy's figures that is an average of 7.48 quakes a year so that suggests that we don't see them pop up all that often, and I admit that when I saw that one I did think it kind of rare.

Perhaps not an oddity as in for example a Mag 6 off the coast of Cornwall (*PM continues amongst the rushing noise of people searching to prove this is not odd*) but rare enough to be noteworthy so no harm done in mentioning it.

On another note and nothing to do with the fact that this is Friday the 13th.

Overnight 157 quakes (sum of four providers) and not one of them a 5+. I always get concerned when the 5s get so low as it often means a big one in the offing.

This chart does not show right up to date as it takes a massive amount of time to process all the data and I have been on this from time to time for several weeks. The chart shows the total of Mag 5 quakes, calculated values as per my Geophysical reports, as 52 week rolling totals thus each point represents a years worth if counts. The numbers for the yearly total rise up and down with the incidence of major quakes, but it is the BIG quakes that seem to affect it worldwide meaning Great quakes (8+) as opposed to Major quakes (7-7.9)

This is only a small lice of data which starts from 2002 and ends 2006 so far but the lowest annual total on this chart is ~4600 counts.

I cannot show you at present but I believe that currently we are at the lowest count of mag 5, (4609) at the end of last week, since the 2002/3 value on the chart.



Does this have significance? Not sure yet as I need to see what happened before the Japan quake but if we don't get a Great quake today I don't think it will be too long (less than a year).
