Atmosphere Above Japan Heated Rapidly Before M9 Earthquake
MIT Technology Review ^ | 5/18/2011 | MIT Contributor

Posted on 06/12/2011 11:28:56 AM PDT by NorwegianViking

Last year, we looked at some fascinating data from the DEMETER spacecraft showing a significant increase in ultra-low frequency radio signals before the magnitude 7 Haiti earthquake in January 2010

Today, Dimitar Ouzounov at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland and a few buddies present the data from the Great Tohoku earthquake which devastated Japan on 11 March. Their results, although preliminary, are eye-opening.

...They say that before the M9 earthquake, the total electron content of the ionosphere increased dramatically over the epicentre, reaching a maximum three days before the quake struck.

At the same time, satellite observations showed a big increase in infrared emissions from above the epicentre, which peaked in the hours before the quake. In other words, the atmosphere was heating up. ...

So as I understand it, increased ultra low radio signals can heat up the atmosphere possibly resulting in earthquakes?

Maybe piezo-electric effects from the stress of pressure in/on the fault line?

You have your cause & effect reversed.

These things are early warning signals.

No. Global warming got real concentrated just before both events and caused the earthquakes.

Actually, this is interesting information. I’d want to see a lot more before drawing any conclusions.

The other way around. Stresses in the crust are the cause of both.

Wasn’t there just a study that showed a dramatic release of radon pre-Jaan quake?

Knowing this I hope the scientists can give us a three day notice before the next big one strikes where ever.

-increase in ultra-low frequency radio signals

-the total electron content of the ionosphere increased dramatically over the epicentre

-a big increase in infrared emissions from above the epicentre, which peaked in the hours before the quake.

Article is pointing out three different types of warning signs before a quake hits.

Thanks for posting the link. Sorry, I did not know it had been previously posted.
