Acoustic and Electromagnetic Emissions Preceding the Earthquake in Kamchatka

  1. Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Radio Wave Propagation FEB RAS

In 2013, simultaneous observations of acoustic and electromagnetic emissions ranging from 200 Hz to 11 kHz were carried out in Kamchatka; as a result, abnormal surges of the emissions were registered 1–2 days before seismic events with magnitudes MLH ≥ 5 at a hypocentral distance up to 200 km. The most likely cause of the occurrence of the abnormal emissions in inherently different fields was activation of deformation processes preceding the earthquakes.
