Abstract
<strong class="journal-contentHeaderColor">Abstract.</strong> Earthquakes are one of the most frequently occurring natural disasters. Many indications have been collected on the presence of seismo-ionospheric perturbations preceding such tragic phenomena. Radio techniques are the essential tools leading the detection of seismo-electromagnetic emissions by monitoring at very low frequency (VLF, 3–30 kHz) and low frequency (LF, 30–300 kHz) sub-ionospheric paths between transmitters and receivers (Hayakawa, 2015). In this brief communication, we present the implementation of a VLF/LF network for searching earthquake electromagnetic precursors. The proposed system is comprised of a monopole antenna including a preamplifer, a GPS receiver and a recording device. This system will deliver a steady stream of real-time amplitude and phase-measurements and a daily recording VLF/LF data set. A first implementation of the system was done in Graz, Austria, the second one will be in Guyancourt, France, a third one in Réunion, France, and a fourth one in Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. In the near future, we are planning on expanding of our network for enhanced monitoring and increased coverage.
