On the possibility of total ozone variability as a precursor for major earthquakes in Greece

Abstract

Recent analysis of satellite data revealed that earlier claims that the variations of total ozone content could be considered as a promising precursor for earthquake prediction are questionable. Here, we show that in order to identify the parameters (time, epicentre and magnitude) of an impending earthquake, satellite data should be combined with ground-based measurements of other physical properties like the Earth's electric field variations.
