Abstract;We investigated atmospheric disturbances associated with earthquakes by measuring anomalous transmission of VHF electromagnetic waves. The VHF electromagnetic waves scattered by the atmospheric or ionospheric disturbances beyond the line-of-sight distance could be observed through our one-year observation. For our analysis, we used one data a day that was derived by the variation of the amplitude of the received VHF electromagnetic waves during the midnight. When we compare the variation of such a one-day data with the upper bound derived by the previous 14-days running median of the one-day data and the associated inter-quartile range, some signatures over the upper bound might appear a few days before M.GEQ.4.8 earthquakes that occur between transmitter and receiver. We finally obtained 10 signals that appeared a few days before 15 earthquakes with M.GEQ.4.8. (author abst.)
