According to a report by Taiwan Television News on June 18, 2024, a team led by a professor at the University of Tehran analyzed two earthquakes near the Turkey-Syria border on February 6 of the previous year using various satellite data. They found that 12 to 19 days before an earthquake, there were significant anomalies in surface temperatures in the epicenter, and 5 to 10 days before, atmospheric parameters like water vapor and methane were abnormal. The study aims to create a low false alarm rate earthquake early warning system based on these findings, although there is still no accurate method for predicting earthquakes. Similar monitoring is conducted by the Taiwan Earthquake Center, contributing to a better understanding of earthquakes for future applications in enhancing warning system accuracy and reducing disaster damage.
