ELECTROMAGNETIC "SEISMIC CALM" EFFECT IN THE BAIKAL RIFT ZONE

Abstract

The paper presents the results of long-term observations of the parameters of the natural impulse electromagnetic field of the Earth (NIEMFE) in the VLF range in the Baikal rift zone. The electromagnetic "seismic calm" effect has been observed, and possible reasons of changes in daily variations of magnetic components on the day before an earthquake have been analyzed. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
