Abstract Since its construction in 2006, the Hubei seismic network has generated much seismic waveform data. During eight years from 2007 to 2014 there were 306 earthquakes with magnitude ML≥30 in Hubei province and the neighboring 300 kilometers. We re-measured the near magnitudes, body wave magnitude and surface wave magnitude of 180 of these events. According to analysis the distribution of magnitude deviation frequency, we find that using near magnitudes as speed magnitudes is more applicable in Hubei province.
