Spatio-temporal variation characteristic of the ultra-low frequency magnetic field prior to strong earthquakes of western Chinese mainland

  • Based on the one second sampling data from fluxgate magnetometers in western Chinese mainland from 2015 to 2019, this paper carried out the vertical component polarization analysis of the frequency band between 5 s to 100 s, and then processed the analysis results by some mathematical methods. The results show that the high polarization value has no obvious shape and amplitude change in both meridional and zonal directions, and the high polarization value has nothing to do with geomagnetic field disturbance. On this basis, 18 high-value anomalies were screened out, and their spatial distribution map was obtained by interpolation method. The results show that within half a year after the synchronous appearance of multiple high-value anomalies of the vertical component polarization of geomagnetic field, the high-value region may have a strong earthquake with magnitude over M6.0. After the appearance of high value phenomenon, several high value regions are likely to have strong earthquakes; furthermore the magnitude of subsequent strong earthquake seems to be positively correlated with the area of the high-value zone.
