摘要: 本文对景谷台站记录到的七次电磁同震现象及两次较强地震在周围几个极低频台站引起的电磁同震现象进行了研究。发现总体形态与地震波相近的电磁波,幅度远大于由于地球感应产生的背景信号,且垂直磁场强度约为水平电磁场的十倍。对于同一台站记录到的多次电磁同震信号,同地震波电磁场增强幅值与震级在对数域基本满足线性关系;同时也受震源深度与震中距影响。对同一地震,多个台站记录到的电磁同震信号,震中距越大,信号出现时间越晚、持续时间也相对较长,但信号幅值并不是仅仅受到震中距的影响,还与观测点的近地表介质有关。通过小波能量谱可以看出,电磁同震信号的主要频率在1Hz-2Hz之间,在同震信号初始阶段高频成分较多,并表现出随着震中距的增加,频率降低的特点;同时相对于电场,磁场记录的高频信息更加丰富。景谷Ms6.6级地震发生时,在距离震中很近台站记录到比同震信号更强的尖峰信号,其在地震波到达初出现,推测可能是由压磁效应引起的同地震破裂的电磁波辐射直达信号。

Abstract: Seven times coseismic electromagnetic signals recorded at Jinggu Station and signals caused by two strong earthquakes recorded at several CSELF stations around Jinggu statio are studied. It is found that the variation of the EM filed is similar to the seismogram and the amplitude of the coseismic EM signal is much larger than the background signal generated by earth induction, and the intensity of the vertical magnetic field is about ten times as big as the horizontal electromagnetic field. For coseismic EM signals recorded at the same station, the relationship between the amplitude of electromagnetic field and the magnitude is basically linear in logarithmic domain. Meanwhile, it is also affected by focal depth and epicenter distance. For the same earthquake, the coseismic EM signals recorded by different stations, the larger the epicenter distance is, the later the signal appears and the longer the duration is. However, the signal amplitude is not only affected by the epicenter distance, but also related to the near-surface medium at the observation point. According to the wavelet analysis, the main frequency of electromagnetic co-seismic signal is between 1Hz and 2Hz. At the start of the co-seismic signal, there are high frequency components, and the high frequency gradually decreases with the increase of epicenter distance. Moreover, compared with electric field, magnetic field can record more abundant high-frequency information. When Ms6.6 earthquake occurred in Jinggu, the station near the epicenter recorded signals with a stronger peak shape than the co-seismic signal, which appeared at the beginning of the arrival of the seismic wave. It is speculated that it may be the direct signal of the electromagnetic radiation of the earthquake rupture caused by the piezomagnetic effect.
