ETAS (version 0.4.9)

italy.quakes: An Italian Earthquake Catalog

Description

A data frame with 2158 rows and 6 columns giving occurrence date, time, longitude, latitude, magnitude and depth of earthquakes occurred since 2005-04-16 till 2013-11-01 in Italy and its vicinity (6.15-19E and 35-48N) with magnitude greater than or equal to 3.

Usage

data(italy.quakes)

Format

An object of class "data.frame" containing the following columns:

• date Occurrence date in the format "yyyy/mm/dd"

• time Occurrence time in decimal days after the first earthquake

• long Latitude of epicenter in decimal degrees

• lat Latitude of epicenter in decimal degrees

• mag Magnitude of each earthquake by JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency)
