THE SAKHALIN EARTHQUAKE ON AUGUST 17(18), 2006, AND THE FIRST REALIZATION OF INTEGRATED FORECAST

Abstract

The paper describes an experiment in which we established for the first time a scheme of integrated earthquake forecast based on long-term forecast with determination of the region of earthquake preparation, its magnitude, depth, and operative forecast on the basis of hydroacoustic data obtained during field measurements in the region of the expected event. We used a mobile field station, which simultaneously detects hydroacoustic and seismic signals in the region of large earthquake preparation.
