THE EARHTQUAKE PRECURSORS IN WAVELET TRANSFORM OF THE DATA FROM THE NEUTRON MONITOR AT TIEN-SHAN HIGH ELEVATION RESEARCH STATION
Abstract
We stipulate the possibility for the short-term earthquake prediction assuming the one may be preceded by specific variation in the wavelet frequency spectrum of the neutron monitor data. The wavelet transform of the neutron counting rate at Tien-Shan high elevation research facility was referenced with the seismic events database. Particular variations corresponding to our expectations are located. We have observed the correlation of the frequency variation with an earthquake.
