Abstract

Real-time and remote earthquake monitoring is a powerful tool in developing an Early Warning System (EWS). The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has the system implemented all over Malaysia since 2004. This paper describes the modeling of felt earthquake events in Ranau, Sabah, West of Malaysia, which observed active seismic activities since 2008. Due to its remote area, geostationary (GEO) satellite network is used to transmit the seismic data to the processing centre. Seismic data from six felt earthquake events are modeled and analysed. In particular, displacement (D), accelerated velocity (V) and acceleration (A) from 2008 to 2014 are analysed and discussed. The feasibility of modeling two outstanding felt earthquake events is assessed using Gaussian distribution with reasonable RMSE values.
