Vrancea Earthquakes
Fig. 1:Top: Digital strong motion network of Kinemetrics K2 instruments in SE Romania and temporal stations during the Carpathian Arc Lithosphere Cross-Tomography (CALIXTO) experiment in 1999. Epicenters of Vrancea intermediate-depth earthquakes and shallow crustal events (since 1990) are marked by red circles and black crosses, respectively. Bottom: 3-component recordings of ground acceleration of the October 27, 2004 Vrancea earthquake (Mw=5.9) (epicenter marked in map by yellow star) at stations VRI (rock) and CFR (soil). Site effects at station CFR cause a significant higher level of ground shaking than expected from distant-dependent attenuation.
They also give what I sought after, the (significant) depths of the major earthquakes:
