Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The seismic observations in Central Asia were conducted by networks of three states: Kyrgyzstan, Kazakh-stan, Uzbekistan,  consisting of 26, 36 и 20 stations respectively. The catalog for 2013 includes 341 events with КР=8.614.7. Focal mechanisms are found for 82 earthquakes with КР≥9.6. The strongest event in the catalog with КР=14.7, called the Sarydjaz earthquake, occurred on January 28 at 16h38m in the territory of Kazakhstan, 240 km southeast of Almaty city. The epicenter is located in a sparsely populated mountainous terrain. In the nearest settlements, no serious damage was found. In general, the seismic process in the region occurred in the background regime. The main seismically active zones and their configuration remained unchanged. Only the level of seismic activity of different zones and the location of the centers of strong earth-quakes changed.
