Comparison of earthquake parameters between KMA and ISC (1978 ~ 1998)

기상청과 ISC의 지진자료 비고 (1978 ~ 1998)

We compare with earthquake parameters of KMA(Korea Meteorological Administration) and ISC(International Seismological Centre) to understand characteristics of earthquake using 30 earthquakes data acquired from 1978 to 1998 in Korea. We calculate difference of KMA between ISC epicentral distance and analyze for magnitude and year. Difference of epicentral distance decreases according to increase of magnitude and have no concern with year. That is the lowest in case of earthquake occurring in land of south Korea. We estimate relation formula for magnitude of KMA and ESC. The result can be expressed in KMA( $M_{L}$) and ISC( $m_{b}$ ) as $M_{L}$$^{KMA}$ = 0.70* $m_{b}$ $^{ISC}$+1.03 and in KMA( $M_{L}$) and ISC( $M_{L}$ as $M_{L}$$^{KMA}$=0.47* $M_{L}$$^{ISC}$+1.37X> ISC/+1.371.371.37
