| Abstract: | The high accuracy, automatic, digital MT measurement system with five electromagnetic components was firstly adopted by the
author to the section MT monitor and measurement in the middle Qilian mountain in the Northwestern China, the more real precursory
information of impending earthquake electromagnetic rediation of GongheM=7.0 earthquake (April, 1990) in Qinghai province was obtained by the system.
The new complete quantification frequency analysis was firstly used in this paper in both time and space domains for the analysis
of repeated measurement data at all sites.
This paper concludes the precursory spectral characteristics of electromagnetic radiation before strong earthquake as following:
1. The spectra appears as the synchronous electric field interference type mainly of conduction current; 2. Narrow band (0.5
– 20s) of spectral period; 3. The singularity of amplitude (the pulse amplitudes of interference electric field is 102 times the normal values); 4. They show the directionality of preparing focus to some extent; 5. The intermittent of radiation
(three peak periods appeared three days before the main shock). It is more significant that there existed a relative quiet
period of about 48 hours between the peak period and the occurrence, observators can response quickly at observational sites
and take it as one of the observational criterions for impending prediction.
This paper also points out that the impending earthquake electromagnetic radiation obtained by the MT measurement system is
mainly the conduction current, and the high-conductive layer existed commonly in the crust may serve as the better paths for
the conduction current circuit and enables the far away MT measurement sites to receive it.
The Chinese version of this paper appeared in the Chinese edition ofActa Seismologica Sinica,15, 186–193, 1993. |
