Using Jet stream’s precursors, seismic locations are identified. Our research indicates that an interruption of the velocity flow lines occurs just above the epicenter approximately 3 months prior to Earthquake events. The duration of this phenomenon is approximately 6 – 12 hours. The average distance between epicenters and Jet stream’s precursors is about 100 km. We explain these relationships while reviewing 8 successful Earthquake forecasts recently. For example:
M8.3 Chile EQ on 2015/09/16;
M6.6 Taiwan EQ on 2016/02/05;
M7.0 Kumamoto, Japan EQ on 2016/04/15;
M6.2 Italy EQ on 2016/08/24;
M7.1Alaska EQ on 2018/11/30;
M6.7 Chile EQ on 2019/01/20;
M6.3 Japan EQ on 2019/01/08;
M7.1 LA EQ on 2019/07/06.
According to the hypothesis of Lithosphere-Atmosphere- Ionosphere Coupling (LAIC), when the Jet streams pass over the active epicenter region, the faults release radioactive material (ionized gases) to the atmosphere, causing a series of physical and chemical reactions, resulting in temperature and pressure changes in the atmosphere, Jet streams, and electric field effects in the ionosphere. A Solar Induction mechanism affecting the Eastern and Western Pacific Rims where most of the Earthquakes were successfully forecast is explored in electrical terms with a proposed Plasma Tectonics model.
