OBSERVATIONS MADE BY DEMETER MICRO-SATELLITE FOR ULTRA LOW FREQUENCY AND EXTREMELY LOW FREQUENCY EMISSIONS DURING INDONESIAN EARTHQUAKE

The beguiling nature of earthquakes and their frequent occurrences, have invigorated the scientists to investigate on the various phenomenology related to this major disaster. The field of seismo-electromagnetism refers to the electric and magnetic field anomalies observed during strong seismic events. In this paper, the authors present some vital results of electromagnetic emissions that were observed by DEMETER satellite in the Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) and Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) range during the Irian Jaya earthquake in Indonesian region (M= 6.1, latitude 3.68 °S, longitude 135.46 °E, 07:36:47 hrs. UTC and depth 35 km.) The observations are expected to emphasize on the electric and magnetic field anomalies in ULF and ELF range related to the Indonesian earthquake.
