Standardised procedure for sattelite remote sensing thermal anomalies<br />

and earthquakes<br />

Satellite based radiometers like NOAA AVHRR, and SSM/I which sense the thermal emission originating<br />

from the earth surface are now being increasingly used to study thermal anomalies originating near the<br />

earth surface. Such observations are generally found to be precursory in nature although a few such<br />

anomalies are also co-seismic are post seismic. Under a programme sponsored by the Dept. of Science<br />

and Technology a few such observations have been reported in some parts of world including India. In<br />

order to obtain a coherent approach from operational point of view it is necessary to standardize such<br />

observations with respect to epicenter distance, focal depth, magnitude of earthquakes and<br />

meteorological conditions particularly the dynamic whether systems. Keeping in view that earthquake<br />

occurrence is chaotic in nature the data can be utilized to evolve probabilistic approach based on either<br />

the synthesized probability or Principal Component Analysis. Results have been examined using this<br />

approach.<br />
