Beschreibung: The SHARE European Earthquake Catalogue (SHEEC) 1900-2006 has been compiled by GFZ Potsdam in the frame of an independant project and represents a temporal and spatial excerpt of "The European-Mediterranean Earthquake Catalogue" (EMEC) for the last millennium (Grünthal & Wahlström, 2012) with a few modifications, which are described in Grünthal et al. (2013). It was compiled under the coordination of INGV, Milan. It builds on the data contained in AHEAD (Archive of Historical Earthquake Data) and with the methodology developed in the frame of the I3, EC project "Network of Research Infrastructures for European Seismology" (NERIES), module NA4. The catalogue (SHEEC) 1000-1899 and the Greek part of 1900-2006 have been partially supported by the EC 7th framework programme project SHARE. Background Information The SHARE European Earthquake Catalogue (SHEEC) 1900-2006 is basically an excerpt of the European-Mediterranean Earthquake Catalogue (EMEC) by Grünthal & Wahlström (2012), the latter covering also historical time in a larger area. Minor differences between SHEEC and EMEC in this time period are described by Grünthal et al. (2013). In both catalogues., the magnitudes threshold is Mw = 3.5 for earthquake locations at latitudes ≥ 44° N and Mw = 4.0 at latitudes 〈 44° N. The parameters of the catalogue have been determined by: - special algorithms to select one out of several possible focal parameter solutions - location, time, depth (optional), Mw magnitude, and intensity - if given by different sources - transformation equations to calculate Mw, if not original, from other magnitude types according to a strict hierarchy - routines to eliminate fake and other non-tectonic events, and to avoid duplicates

Beschreibung: Using data from explosions recorded by the Swedish Seismograph Station Network (SSSN), an average model of two horizontal layers was deduced for the Swedish crust: Layer thicknesses (km): top layer = 10, whole crust = 37; wave velocities (km s"SUP -1"): Pn = 7.87, P"SUP *" = 6.69, Pgl = 6.27, Sn = 4.55, S"SUP *" = 3.69, Sg1 = 3.54, Sg2 = 3.40, Rg = 2.81. A computer program was developed to determine locations of regional seismic events. Assuming a horizontal two-layered crust, arrival times of identified crustal and Moho-refracted waves are given as input. The location accuracy of seismic events using three-dimensional geophone networks was investigated for real and fictitious networks and events. The effects of arrival time and velocity model accuracies, computational method, network geometry and relative location of hypocentre to geophones are quantitatively demonstrated in various examples. - from Author
