“…Our analysis is based on differential measurements between the two permanent observatories of L'Aquila and Duronia in order to minimize the contamination from multiple sources, such as the local background noise and the magnetic field of external origin. Many experimental and theoretical studies on the electromagnetic phenomena associated with earthquakes in the frequency range from ULF to HF have been reported, see Varotsos et al, 1984a, b, Bernardi et al, 1991Fenoglio et al, 1995;Fraser-Smith et al, 1990, 1993Gershenzon et al, 1989;Gokhberg et al 1982;Hayakawa et al, 1996;Johnston et al, 1987Johnston et al, , 1989Johnston et al, , 1994Johnston et al, , 1997Merzer et al, 1997;Molchanov et al, 1992Molchanov et al, , 1995Nagano et al, 1975;Parrot et al, 1989;Park et al, 1991Park et al, , 1993Palangio et al, 2007Palangio et al, , 2008. These studies focus on different aspects including variations in quasi-static electric and magnetic fields, telluric potentials, ULF magnetic fields, alternating electric fields in the ULF, ELF and VLF bands, and variations in the ground resistivity.…”
