0 = spectral level at low frequency
Classical way to determine Mw from the far-field body waves
Rp cor_free_surfM0 = ———————
4 3 r0
Far field (distance >> rupture dimension)
Valid for separated far-field waves (P and S) only.
This simple relation cannot be used when P, S, and near-field waves are intermixed as it is the case near the source for large earthquakes.
(Kanamori 1977)

A new approach:
Using synthetic displacement spectra generated for extended sources in the near-field domain

Conclusions
It is possible to determine a moment magnitude Mw from near source stations at distance < 100 km with an acceptable degree of accuracy (+/- 0.2), over a very wide range of magnitude (4 to 8). Expected time scale: < 2 min after origin time
The focal mechanism can be retrieved in the same conditions using a simple line source model. Expected time scale: < 15 min after origin time
A fast and automated slip inversion is feasible (presently under development and validation). Expected time scale: < 45 min after origin time
