Abstract :In the field of earthquake precursors, most of the
researchers are now realizing that the feeble amount of energy
/mass /momentum etc. released prior to main rapture by a major
earthquake, should be good enough to cause large amount of
changes in the atmospheric parameters which can be easily
detected. The above requirement of monitoring can only be
fulfilled by techniques like acoustic radar /Lidar that monitor
atmosphere in pictorial form on 24-hour basis or use satellitebased monitoring. The data must be processed within minimum
possible time and the conclusions must be drawn in order to issue
the most wanted warning of an impending earthquake. It is
important to note that in India, a major earthquake with
magnitude of >8.0 is overdue and we need to address this issue of
precursor detection on priority.
We at the Silver Line Prestige School are working on acoustic
radar technology which maps the dynamics of the lowest 1 km of
the atmosphere as it presents data in the photographic form. The
problems associated in utilizing this technique are presented in
this paper.
