Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The most promising candidate for earthquake prediction is the use of subionospheric VLF propagation. We have found significant signatures for The Kobe earthquake by paying attention to the terminator times (The time of minimum in phase (and/or in amplitude) around sunrise and sunset). We have examined the total 11 events (including the Kobe) during 13 years on the basis of the data observed at Inubo for Tsushima Omega VLF signals. The result is as followes; (1) For crustal earthquakes (d<20km) within the 1st Fresnel zone, 3 events from the 4 exhibited significant anomalies in the terminator times and (2) for deep-focus earthquakes none from the four exhibited any VLF anomaly. This result would be important in considering the generation mechanism of such VLF anomalies.
