Abstract

The permanent operation of a 3 axes SQUID magnetometer in the LSBB below 550 m of calcite rock is a unique system of magnetic observation: a rejection rate better than 3 fT/$\surd $Hz over 40 Hz. The observation of magneto-ionosphere responses to P wave emissions both at the epicentre and at their arrival at LSBB for earthquakes of magnitude larger than 3 is reported. A simple model predicts the starting time of these events. These results are compared with those provided by Doppler sounders for ionosphere responses to Rayleigh waves.
