The magnitude of this event is calculated using techniques calibrated for earthquakes. The current magnitude is only a preliminary estimate for this volcanic event. The magnitude of this event is calculated using techniques calibrated for earthquakes. The current magnitude is only a preliminary estimate of size for this volcanic event. The calculated location is poorly constrained due to lack of close in stations and difficult to time seismic arrivals. The epicenter is therefore held to the location of the volcano.
