Passive seismic monitoring at the ketzin CCS site -Magnitude estimation
conference paper
In order to allow quantification of the strength of local micro-seismic events recorded at the CCS pilot site in Ketzin in terms of local magnitude, earthquake data recorded by standardized seismometers were used. Earthquakes were selected that occurred in Poland and Czech Republic and that were detected both on the Ketzin array and on nearby situated regional seismometers operated by BGR. Analysis of the waveforms of both types of data suggests that they could be combined to broaden the useful spectral bandwidth for earthquake waveform analysis. By identifying and isolating the overlapping frequency spectrum of both data types (1-3 Hz), linear relations were obtained that were used to define local magnitude for a given peak amplitude value. Extrapolation of these relations to smaller local magnitudes can serve as an estimate for local magnitudes of local high frequency micro-seismic events that are detected at the Ketzin site.
