Short-term Earthquake Prediction in the Sichuan-Yunnan Region Using the Method of Modulated Earthquakes

By scanning modulated or un-modulated earthquakes spatio-temporally in the region of Sichuan-Yunnan,short-term non-stationary seismic precursory patterns were extracted with significant difference and the characteristic of non-stationary short-term seismic anomalies were analyzed as well as prediction efficiency of modulated small earthquakes before a strong earthquake. Besides,small earthquake modulation ratios near the region of the epicenter were calculated and sorted by time. The results indicated that there were significant effects using the modulated earthquake method to predict earthquakes greater than MS6. 0 in a short time. Before the MS8. 0 Wenchuan earthquake,there were obvious short-term precursory seismicity gap patterns of modulated small earthquakes.     

华北地区中等地震活动非稳态特征及预报效能研究

采用全时空扫描方法在时空强三维轴上识别华北地区的中等地震活动的非稳态震兆信息.结果表明,在地震孕育过程中中等地震活动有由稳态向非稳态演化的特点.非稳态图像不同于传统意义上的空区和条带,其空间分布范围较大,一般出现在震前1年左右.以发生在非稳态图像的非开放、非卸载端点(交汇点)的地震作为标志地震,预测其周围(r=100 km)2年内发生Ms≥5.0地震,预报能力评分R=0.573.
