escweb.wr.usgs.govEARTHQUAKE MAGNITUDE Magnitude is one of the basic and important parameters of an earthquake. It defines the size of an earthquake. The beginners of seismology are, in general, confused about different scales of magnitude, and sometimes they mix-up earthquake intensity with its magnitude. Journalists often report the magnitude
8. Cross-Correlation Cross-correlation
www.ocean.washington.eduIn seismology we often use correlation to search for similar signals that are repeated in a time series – this is known as matched filtering. Because the correlation of two high amplitude signals will tend to give big numbers, one cannot determine the similarity of two signals just by comparing the amplitude of their cross correlation.
