Zusammenfassung |
In this paper the electromagnetic normalized functions (ENF), carried out in
ULF band, have been analyzed in correlation with intermediate depth seismic events
occurring in Vrancea zone. To confirm the relationship between anomalous, pre-seismic
behavior and an imminent earthquake, a methodology based on the temporal invariability
criterion of ENF for a 2-D structure, in non-geodynamic conditions, has been used.
The electromagnetic data were collected at the Geodynamic Observatory Provita de Sus
(GOPS), placed on the Carpathian electrical conductivity anomaly where the epicentral distance
is about 100 km, and the National Geophysical Observatory Surlari (NGOS) taken as a
reference and located 140 km from the Vrancea zone. The daily mean distributions
of the ENF over a span of several months in 2009, carried out at GOPS, exhibit significant
enhancements from the normal trend before all the earthquakes with magnitudes higher
than 4. Two correlations between the magnitudes of seismic events and Bzn have to be
highlighted: (i) an earthquake of M ≥ 4 is expected to occur when Bzn ≥ 1.846;
(ii) meanwhile, the anomalous behaviour of Bzn ≥ 1.851 may be use as pre- seismic value for an
earthquake of M ≥ 5. The lead time is closed on 7–15 days before earthquakes
occurrence. |
