Recent Seismic Electric Signals (SES) activities in Greece

Abstract

Quite recently two intense Seismic Electric Signals activities were recorded at Pirgos station in western Greece. They have been followed by two strong earth-quakes with magnitudes 6.1 and 6.9 that occurred in western Greece and southern Greece; the latter is the strongest earthquake that occurred in Greece during the last two decades. The compatibility of these results with some relationship between selectivity and earthquake focal mechanism suggested by Uyeda et al. (1999) is discussed.
