MONITORING AND FORECAST Mega-EARTHQUAKE OFF EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN,
March 11, 2011, М=9.0
Forecast Mega earthquake off East Coast of Honshu on March 11, 2011, М=9.0 .
"... Thus, monitoring of catastrophic earthquake with М≥7.8 off the East Сoast of Honshu which carried out since 2008 on our website in ON Line mode, ended March 11 mega-catastrophe. Two days before the accident seismicity in Japan has developed so rapidly that I practically haven't had time to react and give a final prediction. On March 9 off East Coast of Honshu there was the strongest for last 7 years earthquake-indicator in SS Japan ☼ . It was so strong that Japanese seismologists wrongly could accept its finishing on this stage of time and to lose vigilance. The Message from 09.05.2008 was key. In this and in almost all later, it was noticed that the tsunami catastrophic earthquake in an extensive oceanic area on NE of Honshu can occur in case in SS there will be a strong earthquake with М=7.4. I supervised accident preparation in Mega SS Japan, but the question wasn't discussed on a site. Couldn't assume that after earthquake with М=7.4-7.7 will have practically no time to do it ...
The earthquake magnitude was on March 9, 2011 the key factor for the forecast at the mega-disaster closing stage on March 11, 2011. For operative monitoring we lean against the data of a seismic network of U.S.Geological Service (USGS). In the operative data on March, 9th for this key earthquake they have given magnitude Ms=7.0, then on March, 10th it has been raised to Ms=7.3. The Russian seismological network (CCD) has given out magnitudes Ms=7.4 and Ms=7.7 with a priority on the second value... Anyhow, till March 11, 2011 we hadn't time to prepare materials for a site. I don't feed illusions even if on a site earthquake time would be precisely specified, Japanese wouldn't react. Before the dangerous situation was in the summer of 2008 in area Tokyo, I have officially informed them (the Message from February 21, 2008), but no reaction. I think cooperation with Japanese seismologists would allow..., but that's thinking for the future!...
Quote below the final stage of the analysis of Japanese disaster, based on our messages before accident, which on similarity of "black boxes" the lost plane, allow to make it objectively ...

After last
Message from 15.12.2010 in January 2011 seismic activizations in
system it was not observed, the track from below has rounded areas of
instability of Tokachi Oki earthquake
zone Е1 in Fig.1. It meant that there it
is safe and since February 2011 track has come back
in dotted dark blue area to the south of zone Е1
on Fig.1. In such situation two days prior to mega-disaster
on March 9, 2011 there was the strongest
earthquake-indicator for last 7 years in SS Japan
☼
which has sharply changed a situation in system (see Fig.2). The
track has jumped upwards and has actually returned SS
in a condition described in the Message from
09.05.2008.
There it was said that tsunami
catastrophic earthquake in an extensive oceanic area
on NE of Honshu (in zones D and E)
can occur in case in SS there will be a strong
earthquake with М=7.4.
On March 9, 2011 it was dangerous
already only in a southern part of zone Е
(as in the top dark blue dotted part in a Fig.1 danger
passed).
In a Fig.2 the fragment of track diagram SS
Japan since February, 2008, when we began monitoring
on a site, up to the mega-disaster is resulted. The
equation for a local zone of instability
D+E
has the form:
К = 0.354W
+ 10.370.
From the beginning of 2009 for stability loss in zones
D and
E
the track all time had the deficiency of energy equal to energy of
earthquake-indicator with М=7.3-7.4. In further (see
the Message from
08.13.2009)
we specially watched and everywhere noticed that there is a deficiency of
energy of earthquake-indicator with М=7.4. Above zones of instability
D and
E
the area of instability for mega-earthquakes which are predicted in
Mega-SS
Japan where finally the trajectory has got began.
In Fig.3 the definitive diagram of dynamics growth of probability of
strong earthquake before mega-earthquake is resulted on March 11, 2011.
After March 9, 2011 probability has jumped up on
7 % and for
March 11
made
Р=61.57%
(PW=76.67%,
PK=80.31%).
Track coordinates, probability of strong earthquake with Мs≥7.8 in SS
Japan for March are resulted in Tab.1.

II. FORECAST EARTHQUAKE 2011.03.09, М=7.7 ☼
SS North Honshu, Japan, FORECAST, 7.3≤Мs<7.8. In this system there was an earthquake preparation ☼. In the Bulletin 03 from Sep. 17, 2010 it has been predicted: "At the beginning 2012 will be dangerous on the northeast of Honshu M=7.4, east of pref. Miyako, pref. Iwate 60 km in the ocean, if thus far in the system does not occur strong earthquake from М>7.8. The probability of earthquake is high....". The forecast has been given on the basis of monitoring of a local zone of instability in attractor, stretched from the epicenters of two strong earthquakes 1936.11.02, М=7.3 and 1978.06.12, М=7.7 to the sources 1989.11.01, М=7.4 and 1931.03.09, М=7.7 (see Fig.4). The track developed from area of instability of earthquake 1936 to area of instability of earthquake 1989 which should reach to the beginning of 2012. In Fig.4 yellow dotted line the area where instability for March 2011 has been localized is shown. If we analyzed and let out the Bulletin every month we with the following accuracy could predict this earthquake: in March in yellow area there can be a strong earthquake with М7.4. The error in a place would make 80 km that is connected with badly certain seismic system. Our resources don't allow to trace a seismic situation monthly. Let's notice that at the moment of earthquake the track had already very big value of cumulative energy K=16.56, and on entropy W=18.26. The track was near to a point of instability of earthquake 1938.05.23, М=7.7, K=16.63, W=18.22. Considering this circumstance, in a yellow dotted zone it was possible to expect earthquake with М=7.7. The probability of earthquake equaled Р=67.35% (PW=78.81%, PK=85.46%), in September 2010 was Р=63% (Pw=75%, Pk=84%).

FORECAST Mega-EARTHQUAKE 2011.03.11, М=9.0 off East Coast of Honshu .
Mega SS Japan treats the category badly defined, there are only authentically come to the end two seismic cycles, for earthquake of Nankaydo, 1946, М=8.4 and Sanriku, 1933, М=8.7 (see Fig.5). For the comparative analysis we involved the data from others Mega SS. This data from 100 % confidence has allowed to conclude that for last 60 years the track of preparation of the mega-disasters in Japan was far from attractor (see Fig.6). Till September, 2008 energy of earthquake-indicator in SS Japan was insufficient for hit in area of instability of mega-disasters. By September 2008 track for some months has jumped up and has bypassed zone of instability for the big Tokyo area (see the Message from 07.31.2008) and area of mega-disasters became already accessible. The Message from 09.05.2008 was key. In it and almost in all the subsequent, it was noticed that tsunami catastrophic earthquake in an extensive oceanic zone on NE Honshu (in zones D and E) can occur in case in SS there will be a strong earthquake with М=7.4. In further (see the Message from 08.13.2009) we watched and noticed that there is a deficiency of energy of earthquake-indicator which could start avalanche process of preparation of mega-disaster in zone D, and then in E. Forecast in SS Japan has shown that after March 9 the track has come back in zone Е and in Mega SS extensive area Е+D (see Fig.5) is prepared for discharging.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Here monitoring and the forecast by which we did in ON Line a mode on an extent more than 3 years breaks. In all Messages on a site we reacted to earthquakes within 1-2 days. The value of magnitude of earthquake-indicator was very important for the further monitoring and the forecast, however, rapidity of events and variability of data of world Seismological networks hasn't allowed to react operatively... For two days all has failed!
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Further calculations and analysis,
which I have already made after catastrope
have amazed me
on the spot!!!
The Nature didn't have chances, by March 2011
she had already accumulated a record entropy (W=20.586),
greater than Mega SS Chile at the
Chilean earthquake of 1960 (W=20.350) (see the
Message 25.03.2010). I.e. on entropy
disaster has so ripened that the system already could be
discharged only by means of mega-earthquake with М=9.0,
deficiency of energy equaled in accuracy of energy of earthquake-indicator
with М=7.7. To wait the Nature couldn't in any way more, there was a unique
chance: there is an earthquake-indicator
☼
and at once - mega-disaster
. Now it is all in the numbers.
FORECAST
Мs≥8.4.
Earthquake
☼
sharply raised the track,
he fell into the attractor
with parameters K=17.987, W=20.586. Before in the world the track Chilean
earthquake 1960, K=17.950, W=20.350 had the greatest values of entropy. So
the mega-earthquake in Japan March 11, 2011
has broken the record of the Chilean
earthquake, 1960. Attractor and the law of seismic
entropy production for Mega SS
Japan, determined from the earthquakes 1933 and 1946,
are as follows:
К = 0.337W + 11.064 at W>19.450 attractor (1)
Кs = 0.802W + 1.560 at W>19.450 law of seismic entropy production (2)
Substituting
value
of track
entropy W=20.586 in the equations (1) we will receive K=18.000, and
parameter of track K=17.987, i.e. earthquake magnitude on March 9,
М=7.7 in accuracy compensated deficiency of earthquakes-indicators
energy. Substituting entropy W=20.586 in the equation (2) we
will receive Ks=18.070 that corresponds to magnitude 9.0-9.1. I.е.
all that has occurred in Japan was inevitable and entirely
predictable. The probability of mega-disaster
till March 9 was
Р=85.69%
(PW=91.93%,
PK=93.21%),
after earthquake-indicator has in steps increased
Р=87.53%
(PW=91.93%,
PK=95.21%)
(see
Fig.7).

I'm
shocked! The game of
seismic chess ended with the
chessboard destruction...
... Nature saw the trap, paused, and then on March
9 has made a very strong move. Even experts precisely couldn't define force of a
course in the circumstances. Earlier, I did all reciprocal courses for 1-2 days.
And here uncertainty. Since April, 2009 I repeated all time that if the Nature
will play М=7.4 that it is forced will lose... On March 11 I have finished the
analysis and have prepared the answer in which has shown that in all variants of
a reciprocal course the Nature loses. The party came to an end with disaster in
an extensive oceanic area on NE of Honshu which I specified earlier... Usually
by rules of chess the Nature should wait a reciprocal move, but probably she has
understood that I have practically solved its plan, and other variants of
continuation of game at it weren't also it, without having waited the answer,
has destroyed (has turned) all chessboard... That I couldn't in any way and
wouldn't have time to expect... The Party has come to the end tragically.
I feel sincere sympathy for victims and all
Japanese.
