Abstract
AbstractTime series analysis was applied to the continuous radon level, temperature, pressure, and rainfall to find clear earthquake signals. Radon signals appeared a few days after heavy rains, and radon signals associated with events M = 3.8–4.2 were detected 12 up to 36 days before. The events are complete data recorded from 1983 to 1986, giving discussion and conclusion on M with prediction time and radon anomaly detected in the Stivos faulting near Thessaloniki, N. Greece.
