Abstract
The idea of the global daily magnitude (GDM, unit designation is Mg) of earthquakes is introduced. The formula is given for calculating Mg from earthquake strength data, characterized by the classic magnitude M on the Richter scale. An example of the calculation of Mg is given. It is noted that the Mg index may be useful in studying a number of seismological problems.
