A Revised Parametric Model of Local Magnitude for Albanian Seismological Network

6287 A new local magnitude parametric relation for Albanian Seismological Network E. Dushi* (Polytechnic University of Tirana) SUMMARY 5 th Congress of Balkan Geophysical Society — Belgrade Serbia 10 – 16 May 2009Seismicity of Albania is characterized by small and medium size earthquakes with mainly shallow hypocenters hardly passing 35 km of depth. Heterogeneity of the crust leads to a greater scatter witch is the main reason for seismic wave amplitudes decrease and consequently of radiated seismic energy attenuation with variation of distance and azimuth. Using the correction coefficients δ = 0.1 for ∆=0-80 km and δ=0.4 for ∆ up
