Common dependence on earthquake magnitudes for the trapped particles bursts approaching the earthquake

Space Physics 2012-11-20 v2 Geophysics

Abstract

Trapped particles bursts have long been observed to be frequently occurred several hours before earthquakes, especially for strong earthquakes, from several space experiments during past decades. However, the validity of earthquake origin of particles bursts events is still unsolved. In this paper, we firstly reported the frequency distribution and time evolution of particles bursts within different time windows centered around earthquakes for various magnitudes. The results showed nearly the same systematic dependence of particle bursts frequency on earthquake magnitude and characteristic time decay behavior of average number of particles bursts for various magnitudes. These findings should strengthen the validity of earthquake origin of particles bursts and further understanding of particles bursts as possible precursor of earthquake.
