How Significant Duration Arias 5 To 95 works
Significant duration bracketing the 5–95% Arias interval from per-interval energy contributions. Inputs are interpreted exactly in the displayed units and the calculation returns the following fields without presentation rounding.
- N_5–95
- Returned number. Number of intervals spanning 5–95% of Arias.
Limitations and assumptions
- Earth structure, source geometry, path effects, site response, instrument response, catalog completeness, uncertainty, and the fitted range can dominate the accuracy of simplified seismic calculations.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units, preserve source measurements and assumptions, and independently verify consequential decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
For analysis or hazard decisions, retain uncertainty and provenance and compare the result with waveform processing, calibrated regional models, and guidance from qualified seismologists or the responsible agency.
