Abstract :
We present evidences of anomalous VLF signals which we interpret to be precursors of seismic activities. These anomalies could be in VLF day lengths, or in D-layer preparation times, D-layer disappearance times, or, night time fluctuations. We made many case by case studies of major earthquakes and found that the anomalies occur 1-5 days before seismic events. We also made statistical analysis of several earthquakes together and came to same conclusions. Furthermore, we present results from several VLF receivers for a single earthquake and show that the result depends on the proximity of the propagation path to the epicenter.
