Remote Detection of the Electric Field Change Induced at the Seismic Wave Front from the Start of Fault Rupturing

Seismic waves are generally observed through the measurement of undulating elastic ground motion. We report the remote detection of the Earth's electric field variations almost simultaneously with the start of fault rupturing at about 100 km from the fault region using a special electric measu...
