ABSTRACT: This research presents one possible way for imminent prediction of earthquakes’ magnitude,
depth and epicenter coordinates by solving the inverse problem using a data acquisition network
system for monitoring, archiving and complex analysis of geophysical variables-precursors.
Among many possible precursors the most reliable are the geoelectromagnetic field, the boreholes
water level, radon earth-surface concentration, the local heat flow, ionosphere variables,
low frequency atmosphere and Earth core waves. The title demonstrates that only geomagnetic
data are used in this study. Within the framework of geomagnetic quake approach it is possible to
perform an imminent regional seismic activity forecasting on the basis of simple analysis of geomagnetic
data which use a new variable SChtM with dimension surface density of energy. Such analysis
of Japan Memambetsu, Kakioka, Kanoya INTERMAGNET stations and NEIC earthquakes data,
the hypothesis that the “predicted” earthquake is this with biggest value of the variable SChtM permits
to formulate an inverse problem (overdetermined algebraic system) for precursor’s signals
like a function of earthquake’s magnitude, depth and distance from a monitoring point. Thus, in
the case of data acquisition network system existence, which includes monitoring of more than
one reliable precursor variables in at least four points distributed within the area with a radius of
up to 700 km, there will be enough algebraic equations for calculation of impending earthquake’s
magnitude, depth and distance, solving the overdetermined algebraic system.
