Quick Regional Moment Tensors (QRCMTs)

Quick Regional Moment Tensors, or QRCMTs, are centroid moment tensors computed rapidly after an earthquake occurred in Euro-Mediterranean region and with a magnitude at least 4.5. For Italy we lower this threshold to 4.0 when possible. The computation method is the same used to update RCMT European-Mediterranean Catalog (Ardvisson and Ekstrom, 1998; Pondrelli et al., 2011 and references therein). Starting from 2011, all QRCMTs solutions are published on this web page and included in the RCMT Web Search Page . A description of the procedure used for computation of QRCMTs can be found in Pondrelli et al., 2012 and 2016 (Annals of Geophysics, vol.55, n.4 DOI: 10.4401/ag-6146 and Annals of Geophysics, vol.59, Fast Track 5, 2016; DOI: 10.4401/ag-7240 respectively)
