Environmental Seismic Intensity scale Environmental Seismic Intensity scale The Environmental Seismic Intensity scale (ESI 2007) is a seismic scale used for measuring the intensity of an earthquake on the basis of the effects of the earthquake on the natural environment (Earthquake Environmental Effects). The international effort to develop a new scale of macroseismic intensity that would focus exclusively on environmental effects of earthquakes began in the early 1990s and was sponsored by the International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA). After the final draft of the scale was approved by INQUA at its XVII Congress in Cairns, Australia, in 2007, the scale became officially known
Seismic inverse Q filtering from the phase. Comparing with fig.1.b. we can see that the smaller the reference frequency f in the forward solution,the more phase effect we get. In the inverse solution (1.8.a) we have the opposite effect,the higher value of f the more the forward phase effect is compensated, toward a causal solution. The graphs give a good illustration of Q-filtering according to the theory of Wang. However, more calculations should be done and more seismic models should be introduced. The effect of amplitude inverse Q-filtering should also be studied. Seismic inverse Q filtering Seismic inverse Q filtering is a data processing
