The electron foreshock

Advances in Space Research, 1995
An overview of the observations of backstreaming electrons in the foreshock and the mechanisms that have been proposed to explain their properties will be presented. A primary characteristic of observed foreshock electrons is that their velocity distributions are spatially structured in a systematic way depending on distance from the magnetic field ...

MMS observations of wave activity in the particle foreshock bubble foreshock region

2020
<p>Foreshock bubbles (FBs) are kinetic transient phenomena formed due to the interaction between IMF discontinuities and backstreaming energetic ions in Earth’s foreshock region. FBs can be driven by both rotational discontinuities and tangential discontinuities and are typically observed under higher solar wind ...

Foreshocks of strong earthquakes

Izvestiya, Physics of the Solid Earth, 2014
The specific enhancement of ultra-low-frequency (ULF) electromagnetic oscillations a few hours prior to the strong earthquakes, which was previously mentioned in the literature, motivated us to search for the distinctive features of the mechanical (foreshock) activity of the Earth’s crust in the epicentral zones of the future earthquakes. Activation of

Foreshocks and earthquake prediction

Tectonophysics, 1975
Abstract Results of a statistical investigation of the magnitude and time distributions of foreshocks in the area of Greece are reported. Further evidence is presented that the parameter b , in the frequency—magnitude relation, has a smaller value before than after the main shock, and that the time distribution of foreshocks follows a statistical ...

Foreshock Occurrence in Central California

Seismological Research Letters, 1979
The hypocentral regions of 29 (M ≥ 3.5) earthquakes along the San Andreas fault system in central California have been systematically examined for increased microearthquake activity preceding the main shock. Of 20 shallow (h > 9 km) main events, 10 were preceded by an apparent buildup of seismic activity.

The electron foreshock

1985
ISEE particle and wave data are noted to furnish substantial support for the basic features of the velocity dispersed model at the foreshock boundary that was proposed by Filbert and Kellogg (1979). Among many remaining discrepancies between this model and observation, it is noted that unstable reduced velocity distributions have been discovered behind

Foreshock Rates from Aftershock Abundance

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2008
The question whether foreshocks behave like mainshocks that happen to have larger aftershocks is important for the understanding of earthquake nucleation and the modeling of earthquake clustering. Many models, including the short-term earthquake probability (STEP) model, for forecasting short-term earthquake hazard in California, and the epidemic-type ...

Probing the foreshock wave boundary

2023
Foreshock ultralow frequency (ULF) waves play an important role in the dynamics upstream of planetary bow shocks and can affect the downstream magnetosheath region.  Due to limited available spacecraft measurements, the waves are often analyzed with incomplete information about their overall spacial structure.

ULF waves in the foreshock

Advances in Space Research, 1995
Plasma waves observed in the VLF range upstream of planetary bow shocks not only modify the particle distributions, but also provide important information about the acceleration processes that occur at the bow shock. Electron plasma oscillations observed near the tangent field line in the electron foreshock are generated by electrons reflected at the ...

Finding foreshocks in the damage zone

Science, 2017
Geophysics![Figure][1] Damage done by a 2005 earthquake in Balakot, Pakistan PHOTO: AGENCJA FOTOGRAFICZNA CARO/ALAMY STOCK PHOTO Foreshocks are small earthquakes that precede much larger and more damaging earthquakes.
