Sobisevich1, K. Kanonidi2, A. Sobisevich1, 2010 1Institute of Physics of the Earth, RAS, Moscow, Russia 2Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radiowave Propagation, Troitsk, Russia alex@ifz.ru Analysis of experimental observations of varia- tions in the magnetic field of the Earth recorded by instrumental complexes of the Northern-Caucasus Geophysical Observatory is performed. It is con- firmed that it is possible to distinguish characteris- tic ultra-low-frequency (ULF) wave forms in the struc- ture of the recorded electromagnetic signals pre- ceding strong teleseismic events (earthquakes), especially ones being followed by tsunami. The Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964, with a magnitude of 9.2 was one of the strongest events in the history of instrumental seismic observations. At the end of 1964, G. W. Moore was the first to report about characteristic magnetic signals (fore- runners), which appeared two hours before the earth- quake [Fraser-Smith, 2008]. Investigation of fore- runners of this class was continued [Gul'el'mi, 2007; Sobisevich et al., 2008a]. Anomalous electromag- netic signals before strong earthquakes were ob- served in a wide frequency range [Bakhmutov et al., 2003; Gul'el'mi, 2007; Sobisevich et al., 2008b]. The main efforts of scientists were focused on the study of anomalous broad-band electromagnetic distur- bances [Barsukov, 1991]. Quasi-harmonic compo- nents almost fell out of consideration. This explains the fact that, during the last 50 years, ultra-low-fre- quency electromagnetic forerunners are periodical- ly discussed, but so far there is no full agreement among geophysicists about the possibility of their reliable separation and practical application. There is no satisfactory theoretical explanation of this effect so far [Alekseev et al., 2008; Gul'el'mi, 2008]. Therefore, field experiment becomes the first tool in the investigation of the revealed effect. In recent years, systematic observations of mag- netic field fluctuations with ultra-low frequency have been carried out at the Northern-Caucasus Geo- physical Observatory of the Institute of Physics of the Earth (IPE RAS) equipped with modern geo- physical instruments, including tiltmeters and tri- axial magnetic variometers [Sobisevich et al., 2008a]. Analysis of the accumulated geophysical information about stimulated wave processes caused by remote earthquakes allowed us to confirm the existence of electromagnetic forerunners and dis- tinguish anomalous wave forms with ultra-low-fre- quency of disturbances before strong teleseismic events 2—4 h before their beginning [Sobisevich et al., 2009]. Almost every earthquake with magnitude great- er than 6 and followed by tsunami in 2007—2009 has been carefully analysed in terms of experimen- tal observations over magnetic variations in the North- ern-Caucasus geophysical Observatory (Table). In every case there have been determined ULS geomagnetic variations, yet the first event registered and analysed was the Great Sumatera-Andaman earthquake back in 2004 (Fig. 1). We refer to universal time here and further in this text. Analysis of magnetic variations has revealed the two time intervals with geomagnetic anomalies (possible precursors) may be clearly observed. De- tailed representations of mentioned wave-forms are shown in the two incuts (1 and 2) while filtered ano- malous ULF geomagnetic variations observed close to midnight December 24—25 are shown in Fig. 2. It has been shown that quasi-harmonic wave forms of the geomagnetic variation determined in the time interval from 2006.12.24 23:58 to 2006.12.25 00:23 is containing information on electrodynamic processes in the domain of forthcoming seismic event. It should be emphasized, that magnetic variometers are also registering well-known quasi-harmonic pul- sations (Pc4 pulsations) of ionosphere origin.

For more than seven years we have been ana- lyzing experimental records of ULF geomagnetic variations at the Northern-Caucasus Geophysical Observatory and based on this experience may we suppose that the initial phenomena is the geomag- netic signal generated in the domain of development of forthcoming seismic event. In Fig. 3, 4 the time interval of several hours prior to the main shock of the Sumatra-Andaman earth- quake featuring the fine structure of geomagnetic variation is shown. Analysis of geodynamic settings in the course of preparation and development of the Sumatra-An- daman earthquake in combinations with records of magnetic variations has allowed to outline the spe- cific type of quasi-harmonic ULF geomagnetic vari- ations preceding an earthquake followed by tsuna- mi. It has been suggested that the origin of men- tioned geomagnetic variations is located within the ������� ��� ����� ���� ��% ������������� �� !"# $ %& '( )�& �*�* Fig. 1.

Analysis of recorded data for the M=7.8 Nort- hern Sumatera earthquake 06.04.2010 responsible for tsunami generation has confirmed the existence of ULF geomagnetic variations (Fig. 5, 6). Analysis of ULF geomagnetic variations has re- vealed its quasi-harmonic nature and structure. It should be emphasized, that experimental data collected by means of instrumental observations in the Northern-Caucasus Geophysical Observatory is of highest quality standards and thus is quite reli- able in terms of short-time geomagnetic disturban- ces prior to development of an earthquake followed by tsunami (Table) are obtained for the first time and to the best of our knowledge there are no si- milar results obtained worldwide for now.
