The catalogue covers the offshore areas as well as mainland UK, covering an area between 10 degrees West to 4 degrees East and 49 degrees to 62 degrees North. This includes all of Ireland and some earthquakes in northern France that were also felt in the UK. Accuracies of magnitude, location, and origin time vary with the instrumental measurements. Variations are largely a function of the seismograph station coverage, which has been improving up to the present day.
