Peak of the sweep is detected first. A point where a potential decreases by 1/e are detected on both S1. Parasite position is defined as the mid point of these two.

Parasite effects may be small.
But changes due to EQs may be smaller.
Such tiny changes can be masked by parasites.
Therefore, parasite removal is important for low frequency analysis!

If we should find an anomaly before one earthquake,
How do we know if it is a precursor to the earthquake
Or a post-seismic phenomenon of another earthquake?
Earthquake selectionEarthquake selection
Defining M as the magnitude of the main earthquake, following conditions are checked in EQ selection.
1.All EQs of magnitude smaller than M-2 are ignored.
2.No EQs within the dobrovolny distance of the main EQ in the preceding 10 days.

ConclusionConclusion and and Future WorkFuture Work
• An analysis tool is ready for statistical study on physical phenomena.
• Characteristics of parasite signals have been understood.• Although only in the Burst mode, parasite signals have been
removed.• Earthquake data are carefully selected to avoid “pre or post”
ambiguity of an anomaly.• First result is obtained.• If it should be real, power spectra increases at low frequencies by
the order of –2 db around 60Hz. (It can be just a coincidence…)• Data of plasma density and energy from IAP is being analyzed. • More earthquake data are being added.• Correlation with other parameters such as magnetic local time
should be checked.• Once an anomaly related to the seismic event is confirmed, a
reverse analysis should be performed. (Earthquake-Anomaly ……..)
