an earthquake size scale based on the amplitude and period of short-period P waves, usable at teleseismic distances.

In seismology, body-wave magnitude refers to an earthquake size scale based on the amplitude and period of short-period P waves, usable at teleseismic distances. This meaning comes from Gutenberg (1945) in Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America.[1]
