| Abstract |
DEMETER (Detection of Electromagnetic Emissions transmitted from Earthquake Regions) is a French microsatellite mission (the first mission of the CNES microsatellite program referred to as Myriade) with the objective to observe geophysical parameters of the terrestrial environment. This involves the study of ionospheric perturbations (measurement of electromagnetic waves and their effects), caused by natural phenomena, such as Earth tremors and volcano eruptions, or issued from human activities (power lines, VLF, HF broadcasting). Of particular interest is the time behavior (occurrence) of these electromagnetic perturbations in relation to earthquakes. The hypothesis is that they might offer an early warning function prior to eruptions.
