Abstract

This paper presents a brief summary of studies carried out in the southwestern Atlantic, based on the analysis of disturbances in the earth’s Geomagnetic Field (GMF), Water Level (WL) and sea-level Atmospheric Pressure (AP) associated with seismic events. GMF records from observatories of the International Real-time Magnetic Observatory Network (INTERMAGNET), WL records from tide stations of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), and hourly AP records from databases of the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have been analyzed in the area under study. A comparative table is presented between the frequencies of the GMF wavelet transform analysis, filtered WL records and variation in the AP grids at sea level before and after the earthquakes. It is possible to observe different degrees of approximation in each of the variables regarding the occurrence of earthquakes. For example, in the case of the CMF, some high-intensity seismic events show anomalous frequencies some hours before the earthquake. On the other hand, the WL filtered by astronomical tide, account for the seismic event along the seacoast with a correspondence between wave amplitude and distance to the nearest ports. AP grids account for a dipole type configuration in the distribution of the pressure difference around the earthquake. On the other hand, the time series of atmospheric pressure at ocean level show a local minimum in a range of hours around the occurrence of the event.
