Prague surface-wave magnitude: shallow depth limit · case 02

Events at exactly 60 km receive an Ms.

Member previewVariant 2 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

readings are [amplitude um, period s, distance deg]. Events with depth >= 60 km return None. Use only readings with 18 <= T <= 22, 20 <= delta <= 160 and positive amplitude; Ms_i = log10(A/T) + 1.66 log10(delta) + 3.3; return [mean rounded 0.01, count] or None.

Why this case matters

Ms remains the reference shallow-event magnitude in historical catalogues.
