An unperturbated elecron belt is located well above the trajectory of a a satellite

During strong Earthquake (yellow spot) a beam of ultra-low-frequency waves is produced and travels within the belt as a Alfven perturbation

After the perturbation and the pitch angle re-distribution the mirror points of the belts are lowered and the satellite detects a sudden increase of the electron flux

Anomalies of various physical variables have been reported before large seismic

Remote sensing from space has the advantage of continuously sampling the whole

planet

At ASDC we are working on a specific physical observable, the sudden precipitation of

low energy electrons trapped in the magnetosphere.

A first phase of our investigation is performed using the archival data

On these data we study the optimal analysis algorithms in order to search for a

correlation between precipitating particle bursts and earthquakes.

A first goal of our search is to provide an unambiguous statistical evidence for the

existence of precursor phenomena linking the lithosphere and the magnetosphere.

ASDC and the Chinese Chang’E-1mission to the moon

• A copy of Chang’ E1 data can be hosted at ASDC • Chang’ E1 data can be made accessible to Italian

members of Working group form the ASDC interactive archive or through other mechanism as needed

• Matisse will support Chang’ E1 data
