Resumen

Single-stationed geomagnetic vertical intensity polarization (GVIP) anomalies have demonstrated good predictions of the occurrence of large earthquakes in Japan. Nonetheless, due to the lack of a previously densified geomagnetic network, how the multistationary GVIP anomaly (MGVIPA) corresponds to impending earthquakes remains poorly understood. Based on the newly constructed geomagnetic network from 2014 in Qinghai, China, which is composed of 23 electromagnetic stations, we suggested an MGVIPA method to analyze the correlation with large earthquakes since 2015. The results show that (1) the occurrence of MGVIPA is characterized by clusters in time that continue in a short period; (2) the spatial distribution of MGVIPA usually occurs with high values synchronously at several places over the same period; and (3) the Mw = 6 earthquakes occurred in the regions indicated by MGVIPA within a period ranging from 3 months to 1 year from 2015 to 2021 in Qinghai, China.
