Satellitic thermal infrared brightness temperature anomaly image——short-term and impending earthquake precursors

Abstract

Mechanism of satellitic thermo-infrared brightness temperature and temperature increasing is studied. Experiments are made with a gas sample taken around the epicenter area. The gas sample is proved to contain green house gases such as CH4 and CO2 which have increased by tens of thousands of times. In addition, lab research also proves that CH4 and CO2 can obtain energy under the action of transient electric field and release heat, thus resulting in a temperature increase of 2-6℃ . Also a brief account of practices since 1990 is given; altogether 40 short-term and impending earthquake predictions have been made, with 9 precise ones whose three main factors of an earthquake are clearly depicted, and 12 fairly good ones. These predictions include 3 earthquakes of Ms≥7, 4 of M8≥6.0 and the rest are around MS5.0. Yet there are earthquakes left out of prediction. Finally the evolutionary processing characters of satellitic thermo-infrared brightness temperature and temperature increase before the Lijiang earthquake on Feb. 3, 1996 and Tangshan earthquake on April 14, 1998 are introduced in detail. The conclusion makes a study on the regularities of connection among time, space and stress when there appears the satellitic thermal-infrared brightness temperature and temperature increasing anomaly.
