Global observations show that strong mainshocks are preceded by decelerating preshocks which occur in the focal (seismogenic) region of the ensuing mainshock and by accelerating preshocks which occur in a broader (critical) region of the mainshock. Predictive properties of these preshocks have been expressed by empirical relations supported by theory and form the Decelerating–Accelerating Seismic Strain (D–AS) model. A respective algorithm has been developed which is used to identify the critical and seismogenic region and estimate (predict) the corresponding ensuing mainshock. In the present work a forward test of this model is performed by attempting intermediate-term prediction of future big (M ≥ 7.7) mainshocks along the western coast of south and central America. Three regions of decelerating shocks and three corresponding regions of accelerating shocks have been identified. The parameters (origin time, magnitude, epicenter coordinates) as well as their uncertainties have been estimated (predicted) for the corresponding probably ensuing three mainshocks. This forward test allows an objective evaluation of the model's ability for an intermediate-term prediction of strong shallow mainshocks. 相似文献

Instrumental magnitudes in Greece have been reported as: a) Mmagnitudes based on the records of the Wiechert or Mainka seismographs,b) MLGR magnitudes based on the records of the Wood-Anderson(WA) seismographs (To = 0.8 sec, Veffective 1000) or othershort period seismographs calibrated against WA records and,c) MLSM magnitudes based on strong motion records(accelerograms). Comparison of such magnitudes with momentmagnitudes, Mw, for 329 earthquakes, with epicenters in thebroader Aegean area, performed in this study, showedthat M, MLGR+0.5 and MLSM are practically equalto Mw, with a small overall standard error ( = 0.23).Therefore, equivalent moment magnitudes, Mw
*,estimated from these magnitudes and reported in the catalogues of theGeophysical Laboratory of the University of Thessaloniki are equal tomoment magnitudes for all practical purposes with reasonable uncertainties.It has been further shown that surface wave magnitudes, Ms,for Ms <6.0, can be also transferred into momentmagnitudes, Mw
*, but the larger uncertaintiesencountered make its use rather problematic. 相似文献

New observational information on the precursory accelerating and decelerating strain energy release 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:3
Recent reliable data are used to study the behavior of seismic activity before 46 strong shallow earthquakes (M ≥ 6.0), which correspond to five complete samples of mainshocks. These samples include 6 mainshocks (M = 6.0–7.1) that occurred in western Mediterranean since 1980, 17 mainshocks (M = 6.0–7.2) which occurred in the Aegean (Greece and surrounding area) since 1980, 5 mainshocks (M = 6.4–7.5) that occurred in Anatolia since 1980, 12 mainshocks (M = 6.0–7.3) that occurred in California since 1980 and 6 mainshocks (M = 7.0–8.3) that occurred in Japan since 1990. In all 46 cases, a similar precursory seismicity pattern is observed. Specifically, it is observed that accelerating Benioff strain (square root of seismic energy) release caused by preshocks occurs in a broad circular region (critical region), with a radius about eight times larger than the fault length of the mainshock, in agreement with results obtained by various research groups during the last two decades. However, in a much smaller circular region (seismogenic region), with a radius about four times the fault length, the corresponding preshock strain decelerates with the time to the mainshock. The time variation of the strain follows in both cases a power law but the exponent power is smaller than unit (m ¯ = 0.3) in the case of the accelerating preshock strain and larger than unit (m ¯ = 3.0) in the case of the decelerating preshock strain. Predictive properties of this “Decelerating In–Accelerating Out Strain” model are expressed by empirical relations. The possibility of using this model for intermediate-term earthquake prediction is discussed and the relative model uncertainties are estimated. 相似文献
