Possible relationship between Seismic Electric Signals (SES) lead time and earthquake stress drop
نویسنده
چکیده
Stress drop values for fourteen large earthquakes with M(W)> or =5.4 which occurred in Greece during the period 1983-2007 are available. All these earthquakes were preceded by Seismic Electric Signals (SES). An attempt has been made to investigate possible correlation between their stress drop values and the corresponding SES lead times. For the stress drop, we considered the Brune stress drop, Deltasigma(B), estimated from far field body wave displacement source spectra and Deltasigma(SB) derived from the strong motion acceleration response spectra. The results show a relation may exist between Brune stress drop, Deltasigma(B), and lead time which implies that earthquakes with higher stress drop values are preceded by SES with shorter lead time.

Features of criticality in precursory seismic electric signals and earthquakes in Greece
Very recently the recordings of precursory seismic electric signals (SESsf) in the island of Kōzu-shima, Japan, have been reported, and their interrelation with subsequent earthquakes was shown to be beyond chance. Almost simultaneously, the recording of SES activity in northern Greece was also reported, which was followed by a magnitude 5.7 earthquake in northern Greece. These facts strengthen...
متن کاملSelectivity of seismic electric signal (SES) of the 2000 Izu earthquake swarm: a 3D FEM numerical simulation model
Although seismic electric signal (SES) has been used for short-term prediction of earthquakes, selectivity of SES still remains as one of the mysterious features. As a case study, we made a numerical simulation based on a 3D finite element method (FEM) on the selectivity of SES observed in the case of the 2000 Izu earthquake swarm. Our numerical results indicated that the existence of conductiv...
متن کاملOn the electric field transient anomaly observed at the time of the Kythira M = 6 . 9 earthquake on January 2006
The study of the Earth’s electromagnetic fields prior to the occurrence of strong seismic events has repeatedly revealed cases were transient anomalies, often deemed as possible earthquake precursors, were observed on electromagnetic field recordings of surface, atmosphere and near space carried out measurements. In an attempt to understand the nature of such signals several models have been pr...
متن کاملVariability in earthquake stress drop and apparent stress
[1] We apply empirical Green’s function coda‐based analysis to four earthquake sequences in Japan that span a magnitude range of 1.8 to 6.9, to measure radiated energy, corner frequency and stress drop. We find no systematic dependence of apparent stress or stress drop on seismic moment for these sequences, and find they both are log‐normally distributed; however, we identify several anomalous ...
متن کاملOn the recent seismic activity in North-Eastern Aegean Sea including the Mw5.8 earthquake on 8 January 2013
In the last week of November 2012, we announced that a strong electrotelluric disturbance, which we judged to be a Seismic Electric Signal (SES) activity, was recorded at station Assiros located in Northern Greece. This disturbance was actually followed by an Mw5.8 earthquake on 8 January 2013 in North-Eastern Aegean Sea. Here we show that, by analyzing this SES activity and employing the natur...
