I don't mean to contradict you, Mochizuki or JMA, but NIED are showing a lot more aftershocks than that for the 6.3ML

click on the map for the interactive version of the whole of Japan for Apr 17-18th UTC

the 6.1 of Oshika, Honshu is only showing 2 aftershocks

New danger zone is at the French Polynesia and Cook Islands for a medium to large quake. (South Pacific Ocean)

Ionospheric Map is showing that area at the 13 mhz range.

Pakistan region was at 16 mhz when the 7.8 quake happened.

Perhaps before I start I had better mention that I do not intend to be rude or aggressive despite the fact that my manner sometimes comes across as such

In this post I went to great pains to explain the Ionospheric TEC maps and how they are ground based estimates of TEC. Please do read the post before continuing.

Now I am happy to be proved wrong, but as I said in the post I find no correlation between high TEC and earthquakes USING THIS METHOD. That part is important as I pointed out in the post.

You do not of course have any obligation to believe this old goat but I did put a lot of effort into that conclusion, even to using the server of a company in England to ensure I got 24/7 coverage of the 5 minute images for well over a year.

May I suggest that if you still think there is a correlation other than happenstance that you perform a similar exercise and check the TEC against all major earthquakes as they occur? Only that way can you then confidently state that the TEC affects the earthquakes.

There is another course you could pursue as well, which I have not looked at, which is this:

The area where TEC is highest is when the atmosphere is receiving direct insolation, in other words when the Sun is facing the area. It should be relatively simple to take say the Centennial catalogue and see if there is a high correlation between overhead Sun and time of earthquake.

Actually it would be very much appreciated if you could do such and exercise as the results could be very interesting and may prove your point where I failed.

My eyes are on the SW Ryukyu Islands. Many shallow quakes.

Better would be Senkaku and then disappear in the ocean

Can anyone tell me if the frequency of EQ activity in Hawaii in the last 7 days, is run-of-the-mill
for the state?
I realize Hawaii is basically a string of volcanoes. It just seems very active this last 7 days to me

I have a serious question since it concerns me a lot.

As some of you know my girlfriend is living in Osaka. She called me today and said, that the news yesterday where full of reports that scientists are expecting a M7 or higher one in the Kansai area soon.


Does anybody have some information on this one?

I mean M7 or more would be really devastating in this area.

more linkymappy stuff here

It's a tiddler, but how often do you see this on a USGS event?

M2.1 - Quarry Blast 1km WSW of Kinnelon, New Jersey

The normal import I use just says New Jersey, but the new one I am testing uses the names as per the interactive site so I spotted it.

This site may be of interest to you, but it does not answer your question unfortunately.

Biggest Earthquakes Near Osaka, Japan

ETA: Found another that might be very relevant. It is a PDF file

Osaka, one of Japan's largest cities, has repeatedly suffered from disasters due to huge subduction earthquakes of magnitude greater than eight occurring along the Nankai Trough. The probability of earthquake reoccurrence within 30 years from January 1, 2008 is very high and estimated at 60–70% and 50% for the next Tonankai and Nankai earthquakes, respectively.

Part 1: Long-period ground motion prediction in the Osaka basin for future Nankai Earthquakes

I searched for - Magnitude 7 Osaka prediction - so you may find more using that phrase as I have only got to Page 2 of about 6,120,000 results (0.15 seconds) !!




A lot of info in this one

Thank you very much.

Type: Earthquake

Magnitude: 7.2

Region: Kuril Islands
Depth: 122.3 km
Source: USGS Feed

t'Internet off again from 2100 UTC last night until now. Must put up a note reminding myself why I love rural Ireland so. (Scenery and craic)

So I said there would be 2 x mag 7 on April 21 at Vanuatu. In line with most prediction sites I claim a success in that there have been two, even if I got the dates and places wrong. I should have been more mysterious and said 2 major earthquakes on or around the 18th April.

I hope the 21st is not still on!

hi any data on the latest quake at Japan?
7.0 or so I just read...

by the way, I am not being lazy, just wanted to leave it to the experts

Magnitude 7.0 earthquake off Japan in Kuril Islands From: News Limited Network
April 19, 2013 4:07PM

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake has struck in seas off far northern Japan and far eastern Russiabut but no damage was expected.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said sea changes were possible. No tsunami warnings have been issued.

The tremor struck around midday in the Pacific Ocean at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometres. The US Geological Survey measured a stronger 7.2 magnitude.

Japan and Russia both claim some of the sparsely populated islands in the remote region.

The epicentre was 58 kilometres east-northeast of Kuril'sk, Russia, and 528 kilometres northeast of Nemuro, Japan.

The nearest land is the volcanic islands of Urup, Iturup and Sumushir. Hokkaido officials said the islands were not under Japanese control.

The area is about 1,500 kilometres northeast of Tokyo.

The quake was felt in Hokkaido and much of the northern island of Japan. It was also reportedly felt in Tokyo.

"We have received no reports of damage so far," a spokesman at the Hokkaido police said, adding there were no reports

I believe you, as I marked 6 on the title of the LISS SNZO I saved just a few hours ago
