ESRL/NOAA OLR Anomaly Map

Our model seeks “delta class” OLR anomalies, which are similar to delta-class sunspots. A strong anomaly gradient, within 10 degrees (map hash marks), over a fault line, is a strong atmospheric signal. Below, you can find the weekly and monthly anomalies, which tend to favor positive anomalies only.

The Earthquake Prediction Center at QuakeWatch.net is the home of the study of pre-seismic signals, and the practice of earthquake forecasting. The Earthquake Prediction Center at QuakeWatch.net is a division of SpaceWeatherNews and is supported by a collective of more than 400,000 people. The model was formulated by performing a thorough survey and review of the available literature on pre-seismic signals like foreshock patterns, ground ion changes, atmospheric and electromagnetic factors, and the most robust and reliably-available factors were chosen to combine into a real-world-practice model that seeks to use these factors to actively reduce the global active fault area by 80 to 90%, finding the 10 to 15% of of earth most at-risk of a large and significant earthquake at that time (usually M7+). The model has been successfully predicting the location of M7+ earthquakes, within that 10 to 15%, approximately +80% of the time.

The 48hr SDO/AIA 211 solar video shows coronal holes (CHs), the primary earthquake factor. We are looking for the dark patches, which indicate that the interplanetary magnetic fields connecting earth to sun may be about to experience significant fluctuations of energy. Learn more about why coronal holes are important earthquake factors here and in Davidson, 2015.
