The Baetov cluster is named for the city of Baetov in the Naryn region of
Kyrgyzstan. The region is seismically active at lower magnitudes, and
the cluster is dominated by earthquakes observed to near-regional
distances. There is a sufficient number of larger events, up to 5.8 Mw
(January 9, 1997), to provide good teleseismic coverage. Azimuthal
coverage for location calibration is quite good. All events have depth
control, mainly from near-source and local distance readings but a few
events are constrained by teleseismic depth phases.
