All events are recorded to teleseismic distances and all have depth constraint from near-source or local-distance readings. Number of events: 27 Calibration type: direct calibration using data to 1.0 degrees; hypocentroid calibration level = 1.5 km Epicentral calibration range: 2 - 3 km Date range: 20050125 - 20201220 Latitude range: 37.476 - 38.296 [...]
