THE G.D. NEWS IN REVIEW #43
|
||
Western Region News, December 1989
|
||
|
||
A MILITARY CONTRIBUTION TO THE EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION TOOLBOX?
|
||
|
||
Common tools used in earth monitoring include strain gauges,
|
||
tiltmeters, well-level floats, geodometers, radon detectors,
|
||
electro-telluric meters, seismometers, and other instruments. Some
|
||
psychokinetic researchers study abnormal animal behavior and/or
|
||
hypersensitive humans affected by earth perturbations.
|
||
|
||
Disappointingly, except for some M5 "re-shocks" that occurred months
|
||
earlier and a couple of not-so-significant-looking M1 shocks more
|
||
closely preceding the Loma Prieta main-shock, no precursors were
|
||
obvious to help fortell that impending disaster.
|
||
|
||
Electrical engineers involved in ultra-low-frequency (ULF)
|
||
electromagnetic research for the military, however, stumbled onto an
|
||
earth sensing method which may be added as a useful tool for deep-
|
||
earth studies here in California.
|
||
|
||
ULF waves have interested the military because of their ability to
|
||
penetrate into the oceans and detect movements by enemy submarines,
|
||
and one of the ULF antennas in the global array just happens to be
|
||
located in the Santa Cruz mountains. It serendipitously picked up
|
||
significant electromagnetic anomalies preceding the Loma Prieta
|
||
earthquake.
|
||
|
||
Antony Fraser-Smith, 9415) 723-3684, head of a Sanford University
|
||
group involved in this research, indicated at AGU that the
|
||
Corralitos ULF station picked up longwave radiation that deviated
|
||
from normal backgfound noise in the days and hours immediately
|
||
preceding the 5:04 p.m. earthquake of October 17.
|
||
|
||
Is this the first instrumented reading of a deep-earth piezoelectric
|
||
effect that contributes to spooking animals into abnormal behavior
|
||
or does it have something to do with charging air to produce the
|
||
myterious glows sometimes reported as "earthquake lights?"
|
||
|
||
Chi-Yu (EVE-T) reported in a February 1983 article in NATURE that
|
||
researchers Gokhberg, Morgonouv, Yoshino, and Timizawa picked up 30
|
||
minutes of electromagnetic emissions before a March 1080 quake in
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Japan. Soviet science reported electromganetic anomalies in the
|
||
70's, and two days of radio noise interfered with the Chinese
|
||
military and civilian radio before the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, a
|
||
7.8 event which also produced earthquake light.
|
||
|
||
The discovery of ULF radio anomalies associated with the Loma Prieta
|
||
earthquake will very likely be researched further to better
|
||
determine its possible quake-sensing capability for other areas
|
||
along the San Andreas fault.
|
||
|
||
Because Frase-Smith needs another earthquake for testing, the
|
||
Parkffield Pediction Experiment looks like the perfect laboratory.

entitled: "A coincidence?" This chart shows low frequency radio
|

waves detected near the epicenter of the Loma Prieta

quake three hours before it began. The measurements stop
|

where the electricity failed, and begin again during a

period of aftershocks. Source of the graph is Sanford

Notes from sender of article: G.D. is Geological Division of the
|
||
U.S. Geological survey. Contributor of article places question
|
||
marks and underlines "psychokinetic researchers" and the detection
|
||
of submarines. [individual works for the U.S.G.S.C and did not know
|
||
that the ULF was used for submarine detection and military
|
||
applications].

HERE COMES THE SUN... Solar activity is at its peak from now through
|
||
April 1990, and scientists are worried that the atmospheric effects
|
||
will be powerful enough to cause major computer systems to crash.
|
||
|
||
Solar storms and radiation-spewing sun flares are electrical and
|
||
magnetic currents that can alter the Earth's magnetic field. Space-
|
||
based computer systems can be damaged by such solar emissions, while
|
||
ground-based computers are vulnerable to such dangers as electircal
|
||
surges that can harm power grids. (Solar surges were recently
|
||
blamed for wiping out computer systems at the Toronto Stock
|
||
Exchange.) Sun-watchers say threatening sunspots will remain
|
||
extremely energetic until early spring before begining to slowly
|
||
taper off into 1993.
