Abstract
The paper substantiates the choice of the Rautian KP class as the main energy characteristic for the unified catalog of Kyrgyzstan.KP class introduced into the practice of seismological observations by T.G. Rautian in 1960 and widely used in the USSR and post-Soviet countries. Comparison of the calibration function σ(∆) used to calculate the energy class of the KP for four independent catalogs containing the most complete information on seismic events in Kyrgyzstan is presented. The need to recalculate the KP of seismic events included in the KNET catalog obtained at the Research Station of the Russian Academy of Sciences has been revealed. A good agreement between of the new KP values with the KP values for common events from other seismic catalogs of Kyrgyzstan is shown. The obtained KP values for the KNET catalog can be used to compile when compiling the composite catalog without violating the uniformity of the methodology for calculating the magnitude of seismic events.
