Abstract
The paper deals with issues related to the testing of the ESI-2007 scale by using as an example the real seismic event that occurred on August 27, 2008 in South Baikal. The main objective of the paper is to carry out a comparative assessment of the earthquake’s intensity based on traditional macroseismic scales and environmental seismic intensity (ESI-2007) scales. The results of the macroseismic survey served as the initial data. Analysis has been made on the ESI-2007 scale in conformity with the requirements for seismic scales. Particular emphasis has been placed on the type (or rank) of the ESI-2007 scale. Such an investigation is one of the first cases of the application of a new scale by the example of a regional seismic event.
