Research on short-impending ELF electromagnetic anomaly based on DEMETER satellite before the Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake
摘要
This study analyzed data from the DEMETER satellite, collected 10 days before the Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake on May 12, 2008. The time-frequency power spectrum of the data indicated a narrow-band radiative destabilization (below the cut-off frequency) 6 days prior to the earthquake. A significant anomaly in the Ez component was observed 3 days before the event. However, similar phenomena were found over aseismic regions, suggesting a link between ionospheric changes and the earthquake generation process.
