Seismoionospheric GPS total electron content anomalies observed before the 12 May 2008 Mw7.9 Wenchuan earthquake
[1] The global ionospheric map (GIM) is used to observe variations in the total electron content (TEC) of the global positioning system (GPS) associated with 35 M 6.0 earthquakes that occurred in China during the 10-year period of 1 May 1998 to 30 April 2008. The statistical result indicates that the GPS TEC above the epicenter often pronouncedly decreases on day 3–5 before 17 M 6.3 earthquakes...
متن کاملGiant disturbance in the ionospheric F 2 region prior to the M 8 . 0 Wenchuan earthquake on 12 May 2008
With a new factor, effective sunspot number R eff , the results show that there were giant positive disturbances of foF2 around the epicentral zone on 9 May, 3 days prior to the earthquake. Our results indicate that the observed positive ionospheric disturbances were most possibly associated with the imminent earthquake and the new analytic method has good prospects in practice.
متن کاملDistribution of seismic speed changes associated with the 12 May 2008 Mw 7 . 9 Wenchuan earthquake
We used continuous recordings in Sichuan, China to track the temporal change in elastic properties of the medium, namely the seismic speed, at a regional scale in a 2 year period which includes the great Wenchuan Mw 7.9 earthquake. The data are recorded by a temporary network of 156 broad-band seismographs, in a 200km × 200km region that covers the southern 2/3 of the fault system activated dur...
متن کاملA special issue on the great 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake (Mw7.9): Observations and unanswered questions
The 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake (Mw 7.9) ruptured the active Longmen Shan thrust belt bounding the eastern margin of the Tibetan plateau against the Sichuan basin (Fig. 1) (Burchfiel et al., 2008). Initial observations of this devastating earthquake were reported in several short papers focusing on coseismic slip and earthquake-fault geometry (e.g., Wang et al., 2008; Xu et al., 2009; Lin e...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of strong ground motion for the Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake of 12 May 2008
The Wenchuan earthquake of 12 May 2008 is the most destructive earthquake in China in the past 30 years in terms of property damage and human losses. In order to understand the earthquake process and the geo-morphological factors affecting the seismic hazard, we simulated the strong ground motion caused by the earthquake, incorporating three-dimensional (3D) earth structure, finite-fault ruptur...
