"The existence of several magnitude scales used by seismological centers all over the world and the compilation of\nearthquake catalogs by many authors have rendered globally valid relations connecting magnitude scales a necessity.\nThis would allow the creation of a homogeneous global earthquake catalog, a useful tool for earthquake research.\nOf special interest is the definition of global relations converting different magnitude scales to the most reliable\nand useful scale of magnitude, the moment magnitude, M W . In order to accomplish this, a very large sample of\ndata from international seismological sources (ISC, NEIC, HRVD, etc.) has been collected and processed. The\nmagnitude scales tested against M W are the surface wave magnitude, M S , the body wave magnitude, m b , and the\nlocal magnitude, M L . The moment magnitudes adopted have been taken from the CMT solutions of HRVD and\nUSGS. The data set used in this study contains 20,407 earthquakes, which occurred all over the world during the\ntime period 1.1.1976–31.5.2003, for which moment magnitudes are available. It is shown that well-defined relations\nhold between M W and m b and M S and that these relations can be reliably used for compiling homogeneous, with\nrespect to magnitude, earthquake catalogs."^^ .
