The Earthquake Early Warning System in southern Italy: Technologies, Methods and Performance Evaluation
نویسنده
چکیده
A real-time seismic monitoring infrastructure has been recently installed and it is actually operating in southern Italy, whose main purposes are to rapidly issue an earthquake alert, to provide near-real-time maps of the peak ground motion and intensity shaking and to test the feasibility of earthquake early warning following moderate to large earthquakes occurring along the southern Apenninic belt.

Single station estimation of earthquake early warning parameters by using amplitude envelope curve
In this study, new empirical relationships to estimate key parameters in Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system including magnitude, epicentral distance and Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) are introduced based on features of the initial portion of P-wave’s amplitude envelope curve. For this purpose, 226 time series recorded by bore-hole accelerometers of Japanese KiK-net are processed for earthq...
متن کاملReal-time Hazard Analysis for Earthquake Early Warning
Earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWS), based on real-time prediction of ground motion or structural response measures, may play a role in reducing vulnerability and/or exposition of buildings and lifelines. In fact, recently seismologists developed efficient methods for rapid estimation of event features by means of limited information of the P-waves. Then, when an event is occurring, probabi...
متن کاملThe potential for earthquake early warning in southern California.
Earthquake mitigation efforts in the United States currently use long-term probabilistic hazard assessments and rapid post-earthquake notification to reduce the potential damage of earthquakes. Here we present the seismological design for and demonstrate the feasibility of a short-term hazard warning system. Using data from past earthquakes, we show that our Earthquake Alarm System (ElarmS) cou...
متن کاملAutomatic earthquake confirmation for early warning system
Earthquake early warning studies are shifting real-time seismology in earthquake science. They provide methods to rapidly assess earthquakes to predict damaging ground shaking. Preventing false alarms from these systems is key. Here we developed a simple, robust algorithm, Authorizing GRound shaking for Earthquake Early warning Systems (AGREEs), to reduce falsely issued alarms. This is a networ...
متن کاملDetermination of earthquake early warning parameters, τc and Pd, for southern California
S U M M A R Y We explore a practical approach to earthquake early warning in southern California by determining a ground-motion period parameter τc and a high-pass filtered displacement amplitude parameter Pd from the initial 3 s of the P waveforms recorded at the Southern California Seismic Network stations for earthquakes with M > 4.0. At a given site, we estimate the magnitude of an event fr...
