Notes
In the Greater Thessaloniki area to which the Savvaidis data refer, the MMI was assessed as VI-VII, one strong motion record in the city centre recorded: PGA of 0.14g. The PDF (Savvaidis_et_al_on_SEISIMPACT.pdf) in the Downloadable Documents shows in detail the assessed MMIs within the city of Thessaloniki (see map in Figure 5), where it is seen that in the upper part of the city (on the hills) MMI4-5.9 was assessed, while in the city centre (near the coast) MMI6-7 was assessed (Leventakis et al_2008 3GrNCEE_Thessaloniki 1978 isoseismals.pdf) See Downloadable Documents
