The United States Geological Survey National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) routinely uses many of these, including moment magnitude, Mw (Hanks and Kanamori, 1979); energy magnitude, Me (Choy and Boatwright, 1995); surface‐wave magnitude, Ms (International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior, IASPEI); short‐period teleseismic P‐wave magnitude, mb (Gutenberg and Richter, 1956); local magnitude, ML (Richter, 1935; Hutton and Boore, 1987); surface‐wave magnitude...
