    Ahead-of-Tsunami magnetic disturbance detection using intrinsic mode functions: Tohoku-Oki earthquake case study
    (Springer Nature Link) Oliveira, Virgínia Klausner de; Macedo, Humberto Gimenes; Prestes, Alan
    We document magnetic disturbances that occurred during the Tohoku-Oki tsunami of 11 March 2011 using empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in a dataset derived from a network of ground-based magnetometers (INTERMAGNET and GIS). The disturbances, obtained by filtering the magnetic field data using the first intrinsic mode function (IMF1) of EMD, propagate ahead of the tsunami at a speed in the range of 600–1.6 km/s. They also appear 3 min (near-field) to 2 h (far-field) earlier than the tsunami arrival at the magnetic observatories. We refer to these distur- bances as ahead-of-tsunami magnetic disturbances (ATMDs). A comparison with seismometer data shows them arriving 10 min after the arrival of Rayleigh waves. Their association with both seismogenic and tsunamigenic processes is discussed, and it is argued that the tsunamigenic process can well explain the magnetic disturbance propagation characteristics at the far-field. At near- field, the ATMDs are the coseismic magnetic signatures mainly driven by surface Rayleigh waves. Monitoring these ATMDs can be extremely useful for the early warning of the tsunami.

    Geomagnetic Disturbances During the Maule (2010) Tsunami Detected by Four Spatiotemporal Methods
    (Springer Nature Link) Klausner, Virginia; Macedo, Humberto Gimenes; Cezarini, Marina Vedelago; Ojeda-González, Arian; Prestes, Alan; Cândido, Claudia Maria Nicoli; Kherani, Esfhan Alam; Santos, Thiago de Almeida
    Separating tsunamigenic variations in geomagnetic field measurements in the presence of more dominant magnetic variations by magnetospheric and ionospheric currents is a challenging task. The purpose of this article is to survey the tsunamigenic variations in the vertical component (Z) and the horizontal component (H) of the geomagnetic field using four spatiotemporal methods. Spatiotemporal analysis has shown enormous potential and efficiency in retrieving tsunamigenic contributions from geomagnetic field measurements. We select the Maule (2010) tsunami event on the west coast of Chile and examine the geomagnetic measurements from 13 ground magnetometers scattered in the Pacific Ocean covering a wide area from Chile, crossing the Pacific Ocean to Japan. The tsunamigenic magnetic disturbances are possibly due to two types of contributions, one arising from direct ocean motion and the other from atmospheric motion, both associated with tsunami forcing. Moreover, even though the tsunami waves decrease considerably with increasing epicentral distance, the tsunamigenic contributions are retrieved from a magnetic observatory in Australia ( 13,000 km radial distance from the epicenter). These results suggest that various types of tsunamigenic disturbances can be identified well from the integrated analysis framework presented in this work.
