Abstract
Natural and man-made disasters continue to shock mankind with their abruptness and tragic consequences. We are still unable to prevent, mitigate, or even predict such natural disasters as earthquakes, rock bursts, or landslides. In order to reduce the fallout from such events, we need efficient methods to predict their location, time, and energy. The authors suggest an integrated hardware/software solution to monitor the Earth’s natural pulsed electromagnetic field (ENPEMF) pulse flow intensity temporal variations. A prototype station network is tested for monitoring different scale geodynamic processes in the lithosphere using the ENPEMF method. Its capability of early detection of seismic events and location of the earthquake epicenter bearing is discussed. This work aims to demonstrate experimentally that the analysis of the ENPEMF intensity parameter temporal variations is eligible for short-term prediction of the time and bearing of an upcoming earthquake at a distance of up to 500 km. For the first time, three stages of upcoming earthquake preparation are registered for the earthquake that took place on September 5, 2018, in the Chelyabinsk region. The earthquake precursor has manifested itself not only in the ENPEMF pulse flow intensity, but also in the incoming signal bearing estimation.
