EARTHQUAKE CLOUDS AND
SHORT TERM PREDICTION

New Year Greeting

- January 1, 2004 -

First of all, I would like to greet our friends and readers with "Happy New Year!" and thank you for being interested in and propagating our work.

In "New Year Greeting" of 2003 [1], I reviewed a few examples such as the 4.3 San Fernando earthquakes [2] and its clouds [3]; the 4.1 Hollister, California earthquake [4], and its geoeruption [5]; and so on. The fact that I had pinpointed out the epicenters and their relevant magnitudes correctly demonstrates the reliability of my "Dehydration Theory" [6]. Now, the 6.5 Iran earthquake [7] and its cloud[8] [9] prove it again.

However, all of those examples rely on cold surroundings. If the environment of an impending epicenter is hot, current meteorological satellite images do not show the trace of an earthquake cloud. To solve this problem, I have studied how a satellite camera works, and if there is a way to expose the trace. I guess that I may find it, but need a fund to make sure.

I appealed for support, but no fund is from either a government, or people to do what I want to do, yet. As a result, million and million dollar budgets for earthquake prediction are wasted every year. On the other hand, large earthquakes have been killing people continuously [10]. If referring the main reason of earthquake tragedies to no theory to predict them before October 1999, we'd better think about why earthquakes can still kill people after I publish my reliable theory in October 1999.

Although it is silly to appeal for support again, I wish governments and people not to ignore my request because it lead to a way, by which all large epicenters will be able to be pinpointed out. If more study is done to narrow a time window, and to distinguish a large earthquake from two or more moderate quakes, a successful evacuation will be possible in the near future. Otherwise, this table [10] will be longer and longer just due to governments and people thermselves, ignoring my theory.
