The Limnos cluster is named for the island of Limnos in the Thracian Sea
(northern Aegean). Most of the seismicity is associated with the North
Aegean Trough, the site of the two largest events, on August 6, 1983
(6.6 Mw) and May 24, 2014 (6.9 Mw). The distribution of seismic stations
on the nearby islands is quite good and the location calibration is very
robust. All events have depth control from near-source and
local-distance readings and some have constraint from teleseismic depth
phases that is in good agreement.
