We are studying the possibility of a connection between | |
atmospheric observation recorded by several ground and | |
satellites as earthquakes precursors. Our main goal is to | |
search for the existence and cause of physical phenomenon | |
related to prior earthquake activity and to gain a better | |
understanding of the physics of earthquake and earthquake | |
cycles. The recent catastrophic earthquake in Japan in | |
March 2011 has provided a renewed interest in the | |
important question of the existence of precursory signals | |
preceding strong earthquakes. We will demonstrate our | |
approach based on integration and analysis of several | |
atmospheric and environmental parameters that were found | |
associated with earthquakes. These observations include: | |
thermal infrared radiation, radon! ion activities; air | |
temperature and humidity and a concentration of electrons | |
in the ionosphere. We describe a possible physical link | |
between atmospheric observations with earthquake | |
precursors using the latest Lithosphere-Atmosphere- | |
Ionosphere Coupling model, one of several paradigms used | |
to explain our observations. Initial results for the | |
period of2003-2009 are presented from our systematic hind- | |
cast validation studies. We present our findings of multi- | |
sensor atmospheric precursory signals for two major | |
earthquakes in Japan, M6.7 Niigata-ken Chuetsu-oki of | |
July16, 2007 and the latest M9.0 great Tohoku earthquakes | |
of March 11,2011 | |
