The Phuket
data frame contains those events (1111) from the PDE Catalogue, within the spatial region 89°E–105°E and 5°S–16°N, with magnitude 5 or greater, occurring between midnight on 1 January 2004 and midnight on 1 January 2008 (1461 days later). The tabulated magnitudes are the body wave magnitudes. They are determined by the amplitude of the initial primary wave, and these magnitudes tend to saturate for higher values. Consequently, the tabulated magnitudes for the Phuket Boxing Day event (26 December 2004) and the Sumatra event (28 March 2005) are quite small compared to magnitudes derived on other scales.
The data were extracted from the PDE (Preliminary Determination of Epicentres) catalogue provided by the US Geological Survey (ftp://hazards.cr.usgs.gov/pde/).
