Detection of ground motions using high-rate GPS time-series

Detection of arbitrarily large dynamic ground motions with a dense high-rate GPS network

[1] We describe the detection of teleseismic surface waves from the 3 November 2002 Mw 7.9 Denali fault earthquake in Alaska with a dense network of 1 Hz GPS stations in southern California, about 3900 km from the event. Relative horizontal displacements with amplitudes in excess of 15 mm and duration of 700 seconds agree with integrated velocities recorded by nearby broadband seismometers with...

Real-Time Interference Detection in Tracking Loop of GPS Receiver

Global Positioning System (GPS) spoofing could pose a major threat for GPS navigation ‎systems, so the GPS users have to gain a better understanding of the broader implications of ‎GPS.‎ In this paper, a plenary anti-spoofing approach based on correlation is proposed to distinguish spoofing effects. The suggested ‎method can be easily implemented in tracking loop of GPS receiver...

High-order Ionospheric Effects on GPS Coordinate Time Series

Anomaly Detection in Time Series of Chlorophyll Around the Time and Location of Large Coastal Earthquakes Using Random Forest Method

Earthquake is one of the most devastating natural hazards which efforts to predict the time, location and magnitude of it have not been yet completely successful. Remote Sensing data is proved to be an effective source of information about lithospheric and atmospheric activities around the impending earthquakes which are referred to as earthquake precursors. The issue of detecting anomalies in ...

Wavelet-based Analysis for Pulse Period of Earthquake Ground-motions

Pulse period of earthquake records has been known as a key parameter in seismology and earthquake engineering. This paper presents a detailed characterization of this parameter for a special class of earthquake records called pulse-like ground motions. This type of motions often resulting from directivity effects is characterized by a strong pulse in the velocity time history of motion, in norm...
