Abstract:

Aiming at magnitude estimation in earthquake early warning, a segmented estimation method based on convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed. The input is the waveform starting from the P wave onset and lasting 3 s. The output is the estimated magnitude range (local magnitude ML≥5.0 for large earthquake and ML<5.0 for small earthquake). If the waveform belongs to the large earthquake range, the alarm will be sent directly; if the waveform belongs to the small earthquake range, the specific magnitude value will be estimated. For the estimation of magnitude range, the accuracy of the CNN model can reach 98.04%. The mean absolute errors (MAE) of estimating small earthquake magnitudes based on parameters τc and Pd are 0.20 and 0.31, respectively. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed segmented magnitude estimation method in accurately early warning large earthquakes and reducing the probability of missed warnings. Additionally, it enhances the precision of small earthquake magnitude estimation.
