Description

Data to compute station magnitudes presented in this article by Ambraseys and Douglas (2000). The file stationamplitudes.txt is a text file containing the amplitude and period data used in study (mainly from horizontal components except where there only the vertical components data was reported). The file has the following format:

Format of summary line for each earthquake:
Mean Prague magnitude, standard deviation, mean modified Prague magnitude, standard deviation and number of stations used.
Fortran format statement used for reading in summary line:
FORMAT(35X,F4.2,2X,F4.2,1X,F4.2,2X,F4.2,1X,I3)

Format of amplitude and period lines:
Station code,period 1,amplitude 1,period 2,amplitude 2,epicentral distance in degrees, Prague magnitude, difference between station magnitude and mean, modified Prague magnitude and difference between station magnitude and mean.
Fortran format statement used for reading in amplitude and period data:
FORMAT(A4,1X,F4.1,1X,F6.1,1X,F4.1,1X,F6.1,1X,F5.1,1X,F4.2,1X,F5.2,1X,F4.2,1X,F5.2,1X,A1)
