Popis: The magnitude of the earthquake is one of the important parameters of earthquakes. The Moment magnitude (Mw) is a magnitude that best describes the strength of the earthquake. But determining Mw is very slow compared to the other magnitudes. We use Tsuboi et al,1995 formulation to determine the magnitude moment with a P wave (Mwp). We analyze 11 earthquakes in 2011-2015 with minimum Mw around 6 which have shallow to medium depth and using reference stations within 10-30 degrees from the epicenter of the earthquake. Our data references are Global Centroid Moment Tensor (Global CMT) data and the Incorporated Research Institution for Seismology (IRIS) data. We choose vertical component broadband data of the seismic waves 10 seconds before the time of P wave arrival to 130 seconds after the P wave arrival with interval 10 seconds. Our study area has a range coordinates between 125 E - 135 E and 9 S - 2.5 S. We found that the greater the magnitude of the earthquake the longer cut range required. The best time ...
