[0002] At present, the domestic earthquake early warning system has generally adopted a magnitude rapid estimation method based on the initial characteristics of P waves. By constructing an empirical gauge function between parameters such as Pd and τc and the epicentral distance Δ, combined with station correction, the magnitude estimation is realized, and it plays an important role in disaster prevention and mitigation of major projects such as railways, oil and gas pipelines, and urban rail transit. The national earthquake intensity rapid reporting and early warning project has also built an earthquake observation network covering the whole country with real-time data exchange capability, especially in key areas such as high-speed rail and pipelines, which has laid a data foundation for rapid magnitude determination. However, the existing magnitude estimation method still has significant limitations in regional engineering applications: the gauge function is mostly based on national or external regional data, which may lead to systematic underestimation in local near-field events; the observation bias caused by differences in site conditions and instrument response of different types of stations is not considered; the traditional ML magnitude has saturation phenomenon under the condition of moderate-strong earthquakes, and lacks compensation mechanism of joint intensity parameters; and the existing method mostly relies on single station fixed value, lacks multi-station fusion and time evolution mechanism, resulting in large fluctuation and poor stability of magnitude estimation.
