- Abstract:
- In an earlier paper we described the physical properties of the preseismic transient variations in the electrotelluric field. The present letter clarifies a few points that were not properly emphasized in our previous publications. Furthermore, recent results--like that of the destructive Kalamata earthquake on September 13, 1986--indicate that the duration of a preseismic electric signal may reach considerably high values, lasting up to several hours.
