Evidence of earthquake seasonality in the Azores Triple Junction
Lordi, Ana L.; Neves, MC; Custódio, Susana; Dumont, StéphanieThis work presents evidence of seasonal and inter-annual variations of the earthquake occurrence rate in the Azores Triple Junction, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR). Annual cycles in microearthquakes are relatively common in intraplate continental regions afected by large hydrological loads, but this is the frst time that earthquake seasonality is recognized near mid-ocean ridges. First, we benchmark the method...
Seasonal modulation of oceanic seismicity in the azores
Lordi, Ana L.; Neves, Maria; Custódio, Susana; Dumont, StéphanieThe analysis of an 11-year (2008-2018) seismic catalogue of the Azores suggests the existence of secondary cyclic influences on the seismicity rate of the oceanic region, with more earthquakes observed during the summer months, from May to August, than in winter. Statistical testing based on Monte-Carlo simulations and a Jack-Knife methodology indicate that the seasonal modulation affects earthquakes with magni...
