Abstract

It has been suggested that temporal variations of radon (Rn) concentrations in various media may be used as a possible predictive indicator of seismic activity. However, observed Rn measurements are a function of a number of different physical processes including seismic activity. This paper describes a generalized approach to removing 'noise components' from the observed data to leave a residual component of radon concentration that reflects geodynamic processes at depth. The approach is demonstrated using data gathered in Israel at the time of the 1992 October 12 Giza earthquake in Egypt.
