Complex analysis of pre-seismic geoacoustic and electromagnetic emission signals

Abstract

The article describes the results of complex analysis of pre-seismic signals of electromagnetic and geoacoustic radiation. We analyzed the frequency content of single sferics and geoacoustic impulses recorded before the Zhupanov earthquake that occurred on January 30, 2016. The signals were analyzed using sparse approximation method, in particular Adaptive Matched Pursuit. Background signals were studied together with pre-seismic ones. Distributions of frequencies, that are part of background and pre-seismic signals, were compared. Differences in the frequency content of pre-seismic sferics and geoacoustic impulses were found. The revealed features of pre-seismic signals in the future can be used in the design of systems for monitoring, forecasting and prevention of natural disasters. The research was supported by Russian Science Foundation (project No. 18-11-00087).
