Abstract

In this study, the atmospheric changes for the 9.0-magnitude Tohoku earthquake, which occurred on March 11, 2011, are analyzed. The March 11, 2011 earthquake was preceded by a large foreshock on March 09, 2011 with magnitude M 7.3 and depth 32 km at 02:45:20 UT near the east coast of Honshu, Japan. The earthquake doesn’t limit its effects on the Earth’s lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere; it also extends its effects to the atmosphere because of the gas emissions, which produce large-scale seismic waves from the ground and release gases into the atmosphere. In this study, the anomalies of the atmospheric parameters are studied by using one of the atmospheric models from the Naval Research Laboratory Mass Spectrometer Incoherent Scatter Extension 2000 (NRLMSISE-00) model data to analyze the atmospheric anomalies of the Tohoku Earthquake on March 11, 2011. The atmospheric parameters of atomic oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), atomic nitrogen (N), helium (He), argon (Ar), molecular oxygen (O2), molecular nitrogen (N2), total mass density (ρ), neutral temperature (Tn), exospheric temperature (Tex) and anomalous oxygen (AO) are used for analysis during the earthquake occurrence. The epicenter of the Tohoku earthquake, with a geographical location of latitude 38.30° N and longitude 142.37° E, is used for the NRLMSISE-00 model as input parameters to analyze the output of atmospheric parameters. To compare the atmospheric changes caused by the earthquake, 5 days before and after the earthquake are considered. To detect where the atmospheric parameters increased or decreased from the earthquake day, the percentage deviation of the NRLMSISE-00 model is applied. The results indicate that there were atmospheric parameter anomalies that occurred a few days before, following and during the earthquake on March 11, 2011. Except for hydrogen (H), all atmospheric parameters average daily percentage deviation values were positive during the 5 days before and after with respect to the main earthquake shock on March 11, 2011. The NRLMSISE-00 model can capture the atmospheric parameter anomalies of the Tohoku earthquake well.

利用 NRLMSISE-00 大气模型测量,调查东北大地震扰动引起的大气异常现象
本研究分析了 2011 年 3 月 11 日发生的 9.0 级东北地震的大气变化。在 2011 年 3 月 11 日的地震之前,2011 年 3 月 09 日在日本本州东海岸附近发生了一次较大的前震,震级为 M7.3,震源深度为 32 千米,时间为美国东部时间 02:45:20。地震对地球岩石圈、水圈和生物圈的影响并不局限于此,由于气体排放,地震还将影响扩大到大气层,从地面产生大规模地震波,并向大气层释放气体。本研究利用海军研究实验室质谱仪非相干散射扩展 2000(NRLMSISE-00)模型数据中的一个大气模型,分析了 2011 年 3 月 11 日东北大地震的大气参数异常。地震发生时的大气参数包括原子氧(O)、氢(H)、原子氮(N)、氦(He)、氩(Ar)、分子氧(O2)、分子氮(N2)、总质量密度(ρ)、中性温度(Tn)、外大气温度(Tex)和异常氧(AO)。东北地震震中的地理位置为北纬 38.30°,东经 142.37°,NRLMSISE-00 模型使用震中作为输入参数,以分析大气参数的输出。为比较地震引起的大气变化,考虑地震前后 5 天。为了检测大气参数与地震日相比的增减情况,应用了 NRLMSISE-00 模型的百分比偏差。结果表明,2011 年 3 月 11 日地震前几天、地震后几天和地震期间都出现了大气参数异常。除氢(H)外,在 2011 年 3 月 11 日主震前后 5 天内,所有大气参数的日平均百分比偏差值均为正值。NRLMSISE-00模型可以很好地捕捉东北地震的大气参数异常。
