Description:
Presents the time dependence of the statistical parameters alpha and beta describing seismic activity with a high time resolution. alpha stands for temporal event intensity and beta determines the distribution of magnitudes. It was studied whether these parameters are indicative as precursory phenomena predicting large aftershocks within the investigated earthquake sequences (Friuli region in 1976 and a section of the Montenegro sequence in 1979). No precursor effect could be found in the b-value of the quasi-linear Gutenberg-Richter model. b is decreasing abruptly exactly in that point when the computation window includes that large event which shall be found.-from Authors
