Medvedev-Sponheuer-Karnik Scale


Medvedev-Sponheuer-Karnik Scale : A macroseismic twelve-degree intensity scale (abbreviated MSK). It was based on MCS, MM56 (see intensity scales) and previous work by Medvedev (1962) in Russia. Published first in 1964 (Sponheuer and Karnik, 1964) it received several later minor modifications. The MSK developed greatly the quantitative aspects of the scale, thus making it more powerful than its predecessors. It became widely used in Europe. See Chapter 12 of this Manual and Musson et al. (2010)
