Pervasive Foreshock Activity Across Southern California [PDF]
Foreshocks have been documented as preceding less than half of all mainshock earthquakes. These observations are difficult to reconcile with laboratory earthquake experiments and theoretical models of earthquake nucleation, which both suggest that ...

Mainshocks are aftershocks of conditional foreshocks: How do foreshock statistical properties emerge from aftershock laws [PDF]
The inverse Omori law for foreshocks discovered in the 1970s states that the rate of earthquakes prior to a mainshock increases on average as a power law ~ 1/(t_c-t)^p' of the time to the mainshock occurring at t_c.

Observations of a new foreshock region upstream of a foreshock bubble's shock [PDF]
Earth's foreshock is a region within the solar wind upstream of Earth's bow shock filled with backstreaming solar wind particles reflected at the shock.

Traveling Foreshocks and Transient Foreshock Phenomena [PDF]
AbstractWe use the multispacecraft capabilities of the Cluster and Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) missions to show that two types of foreshock may be detected in spacecraft data. One is the global foreshock that appears upstream of the Earth's quasi‐parallel bow shock under steady or variable interplanetary

Compound electron acceleration at planetary foreshocks. [PDF]
AbstractShock waves, the interface of supersonic and subsonic plasma flows, are the primary region for charged particle acceleration in multiple space plasma systems, including Earth’s bow shock, which is readily accessible for in-situ measurements. Spacecraft frequently observe relativistic electron populations within this region, characterized by ...

Cluster-based foreshock discrimination model with flexible time horizon and mainshock magnitudes
Foreshock detection before mainshock occurrence is an important challenge limiting the short-term forecasts of large earthquakes. Various models for predicting mainshocks based on discrimination of foreshocks activity have been proposed, but many of them

A global view of Pc3 wave activity in near-Earth space: Results from hybrid-Vlasov simulations
Ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves in the Pc3 range, with periods between 10–45 s, are routinely observed in Earth’s dayside magnetosphere. They are thought to originate in the foreshock, which extends upstream of the quasi-parallel bow shock and is ...

The ULF wave foreshock boundary: Cluster observations [PDF]
The interaction of backstreaming ions with the incoming solar wind in the upstream region of the bow shock gives rise to a number of plasma instabilities from which ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves can grow.

Statistical study of foreshock cavitons [PDF]
In this work we perform a statistical analysis of 92 foreshock cavitons observed with the Cluster spacecraft 1 during the period 2001–2006. We analyze time intervals during which the spacecraft was located in the Earth's foreshock with durations ...
