Abstract: | This paper summarizes the layout of the Yunnan seismic ELF electromagnetic observation network,site selection,ELF electromagnetic instrument system,data processing and other construction. The principle and method of using the ELF electromagnetic wave technique to monitor and predict earthquakes are expounded. The long term monitoring of ELF electromagnetic fields is carried out in the Yunnan earthquake prone area,and at the same time,the changes in electrical parameters and spatial electromagnetic fields of the regional crustal medium structure are monitored. The functions such as automatic,quasi real time, remote monitoring, network monitoring, data processing specialization, data service,data sharing and industrialization of the ELF electromagnetic observation data have been realized. In order to capture the deep electromagnetic precursory information of the earthquakes,service for earthquake prediction research,which has broad application prospects and development potential. Through the research of the seismicity of Yunnan in the trial run period of the project,the preliminary results of the extreme low frequency electromagnetic observation of the Yunnan earthquake in recent years are given. The electromagnetic precursors and the electromagnetic effects of the Yangbi earthquake are recorded. In the 3-month period before the earthquake,the power spectrum of the electric and magnetic fields,the apparent resistivity and the impedance phase in the observed signals are all abnormal,and gradually increased with time. The maximum value is reached 20 days before the earthquake,and an earthquake occurs when the change is restored to normal. |
