FA-71646 / Seismic magnitude estimation / Open access

GNSS peak ground displacement magnitude: noise floor inclusivity · case 01

Stations at exactly the 2 cm floor are dropped.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The noise gate is inclusive of 2 cm.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Reject only PGD below 2 cm.

Unsuccessful approach: Raising the floor to 5 cm discards valid stations.

Case contract

obs are [PGD in m, epicentral km]. Per station PGD in cm, R = hypocentral distance; skip PGD < 2 cm or R > 1000 km. log10(PGD) = A + B M + C M log10 R with A=-4.434, B=1.047, C=-0.138, solved for M. Return [mean M rounded 0.01, stations used] or None.

Why this case matters

GNSS PGD magnitudes do not saturate for great earthquakes in early warning.

Verification & scope

Stipulated deterministic teaching model of a seismological magnitude procedure; constants and tables are fixed by the contract and no claim of agency or standards conformance is made. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
