Latitude and Longitude error are in decimal degrees. Origin time error
is in seconds.
Reported magnitude represents acoustic level of the earthquake entering
the ocean (in decibels re 1 micro-Pascal at 1 m).
Acoustic magnitude (dB) can be converted to approximate seismic local
magnitude (ML) using the equation: ML = 0.093(dB) - 16.47
