This paper presents the development of a ground-motion prediction model for small-to-moderate shallow crustal earthquakes (3 <= M <= 5.5, up to 200 km distance) using data from the California Shake Map systems. Our goal is to provide an empirical model that can be confidently used in the investigation of ground-motion difference between California and other active tectonic regions (such as the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, Canada) where the bulk of ground-motion data from shallow crustal earthquakes is in the small-to-moderate magnitude range. This attenuation model is developed as a small-magnitude extension of the Chiou and Youngs NGA model (CY2008). We observe, and incorporate into this model, a regional difference in median amplitude between central and southern California earthquakes. The strength of the regional difference diminishes with increasing spectral period. More importantly, it is magnitude dependent and becomes insignificant for M >= 6 earthquakes, as indicated by the large-magnitude California data used in CY2008. Together, these findings have important implications on the practice of utilizing the regional differences observed in small-to-moderate earthquakes to infer the regional differences expected in large earthquakes, including the NGA model applicability in active tectonic regions outside California.
