Imminent Earthquake Forecasting on the Basis of Japan INTERMAGNET Stations, NEIC, NOAA and Tide Code Data Analysis

Abstract

This research presentsone possible way for imminent prediction of earthquakes' magnitude, depth and epicenter coordinates by solving the inverse problem using a data acquisition network system for monitoring, archiving and complex analysis of geophysical variables -precursors. Among many possible precursors the most reliable are the geoelectromagnetic field,the boreholes water level, radon earth-surface concentration, the local heat flow, ionosphere variables, low frequency atmosphere and Earth core waves.The title demonstrates that only geomagnetic data are used in this study. Within the framework of geomagnetic quake approach it is possible to perform an imminent regional seismic activity forecasting on the basis of simple analysis of geomagnetic data which useanew variable S chtm with dimension surface density of energy. Such analysis of Japan Memambetsu, Kakioka, Kanoya INTERMAGNET stations and NEIC earthquakes data, the hypothesis that the " predicted " earthquake is this with bigest value of the variable S chtm permit to formulate an inverse problem (overdetermined algebraic system) for precursor's signals like a function of earthquake's magnitude, depth and distance from a monitoring point Thus, in the case ofdata acquisition network system existence, which includes monitoring of more than one reliable precursor variables in at least four points distributed within the arеa with a radius of up to 700 km, there will be enough algebraic equations for calculation ofimpending earthquake's magnitude, depth and distance, solving the overdetermined algebraic system.
