In this version, GlobalQuake is now able to self-determine the quality of detected earthquakes and comes with many graphics improvements.

Graphics improvements

Main earthquake box has been redesigned, giving it more modern look

The quality is determined based on the parameters below and can have values of S, A, B, C, D, where S is the best quality, meaning that the earthquake is very likely detected correctly, whereas D is suggesting a potential false alarm

Toggleable additional earthquake information box

The earthquake quality is determined based on the worst rating from these 6 parameters. Those are:

  • Depth uncertainty
  • Origin time uncertainty
  • Location uncertainty (North to South)
  • Location uncertainty (East to West)
  • Number of associated stations
  • Percentage of stations matching P wave arrival

Alert popup box moved to the main window and improved

Alert box displays warning for Your home location based on your settings in Alerts tab. It has 3 levels of warning:

  • Earthquake detected nearby (blue)
  • Shaking is expected (yellow)
  • Strong shaking is expected (red)

It displays the estimated intensity at your home location as well as wave arrival times in seconds. Also the thresholds for the yellow and red warnings can be toggled in settings based on the expected intensity. You can also customize if you want the main window to focus in case of a warning or set if the globe should jump immediately to warned quake.

Other enhancements

  • Together with graphics update, this new version also brings improved detection accuracy using a new variety of methods. GlobalQuake will now greatly benefit when many stations are associated into an event and in result, the calculated epicenters are now sometimes spot on the official reports.
  • New settings were introduced in this version. Feel free to explore the settings window to see what's new, especially in the Alerts and Graphics tab :)
