≤ 4.5 earthquakes from the Baikal
catalog: a) spatial pattern of the
b
parameter (slope of the magnitude-recurrence
relationship) as a grid of
b(s)
values, or
b
cells (on the left) and zonal maps or
b
zones
(in the center) for the 0.40.6º grid with double overlap, and the respective maps of the
number of earthquakes in the selected grid cells with double overlap (on the right). The
color scale shows errors in
b
value; b) the magnitude-recurrence relationship within the
1987-2003 interval; c) a map of earthquakes number in cells without double overlap
given for comparison and showing
b
errors exceeding 6% over the whole BRZ area.
