Algeria, Bejaia: 1960-2017

The Bejaia cluster is named for the coastal city of Béjaïa, Algeria. The rate of seismicity is rather high and many events are recorded at teleseismic distances but there are no events with magnitude 6 or greater in the cluster. Because seismograph stations are somewhat spread out in this region it was necessary to keep the cluster a big larger (geographically) than usual in order to obtain the necessary azimuthal coverage. This cluster is quite unusual in that the arrival time dataset from the ISC contains almost no S-picks at epicentral distances less than about 3°. The lack of local-distance S-phase data compromises the resolution of the hypocentroid to some extent but the location calibration is still good. All events have depth [...]
