ONLY FAR_FIELD AFTERSHOCKS FROM HONSHU APPEAR IN GLOBAL EARTHQUAKE LISTS TODAY

SUMMARY

Far-field aftershocks (FFA) from the Mw 6.5 earthquake in Honshu
yesterday began immediately and continued throughout the day today.
Every event of Ml>=3.5 listed since the Honshu quake in the NEIS listing
can be identified as an FFA of that Japanese event (9 straight events)
The largest event of the day occurred in the Fiji Islands (Mb 5.7)
which was identified as a likely location for FFA in the forecast:

"71-73 degrees: ... Fiji Islands,"

The second largest event was a Mb 5.3 occurring at 19S in the Chile-Bolivia
border zone at 146 degrees from Honshu as noted in the forecast:

"142-146 degrees: So. Peru (14-19S)"

The first earthquake listed by NEIS after Honshu occurred in Irian
Jaya almost due south of the Honshu mainshock at 44 degrees from that event,
and was also identified in the FFA forecast:

"43-45 degrees: Myanmar, Nepal/No. India, Halmahera, Celebes, So. Alaska
(Seward/Anchorage), New Britain"

Also occurring at 43-45 degrees from Honshu were the following NEIS
listed earthquakes:

Sikkim/No. India Mb 4.9 - 45 degrees distance
Southern Alaska Mb>3 (two events) - 45 degrees distance
Banda Sea Mb 4.8 - 45 degrees distance (reported by GSSC)

Other events listed by NEIS since the Honshu earthquake occurred
at Chiapas Mexico (Mb 4.3) at a distance of 106 degrees from Honshu
and listed in the FFA forecast as:

"103-107 degrees***: Chiapas, Mexico"

and an earthquake of Mb 4.1 in eastern Turkey at a distance of 72 degrees
from Honshu and listed in the forecast as:

"71-73 degrees: ... Eastern Turkey"

Also occurring this afternoon near Napa, CA was a Ml 2.8, a relatively
rare event for this area. This earthquake occurred at 71 degrees from
the Honshu earthquake.

GLOBAL

There was NO global activity today listed by teleseismic networks
which was NOT forecast FFA from the Honshu earthquake (Mw 6.5).

U.S./CANADA

The strong swarms of earthquakes in volcanic or hydrothermal regions
linked to the Honshu earthquake surface waves (see yesterday's report)
continued today at a reduced level. These swarms are occurring primarily
at Mammoth Lakes, CA, Yellowstone, N.P. WY, and Mt. Hood, OR. The
Mammoth Lakes Ml 3.4, the largest in more than a year in the region,
also coincided with the start of the largest solar flare of the day -
an M2.2 class (see Solar/Geomagnetic section below), and may have
been immediately triggered by that flare as Mammoth Lakes was nearly
sub-solar at the time.

An earthquake of Ml 2.7 also occurred this afternoon in the New Madrid fault
zone, Missouri/ Tennessee. This is the largest event in this area in nearly
5 months (since July 7, 2001). This event lies at 107 degrees from the Kunlun
Mts. mainshock and may be an FFA from that event with additional input from
the Honshu quake.

In the California/Nevada region, besides the Napa (Ml 2.8) and Mammoth
Lakes events (Ml 3.4), earthquakes of Ml>=2 occurred in the southland
near Obsidian Butte (Ml 2.5, 2.4, 2.1) and near Coso Junction (Ml 2.1).
Both areas are considered volcanic/plutonic hot spots. Activity also
appeared to be returning to the L.A. basin area where events of Ml 1.9
occurred since last report near Leo Carrillo State Beach and Newport
Beach.

In the Pacific Northwest, the activity at Mt. Hood Oregon, continued with
earthquakes of Ml 2.4, 2.1 and 2.6 recorded (for further details see
yesterday's report).

Earthquakes in the Yellowstone Park area increased in size and number
following the Honshu quake. In the three hours after the quake in Japan,
Yellowstone experienced three events of Ml>=2 (2.0, 2.1, 2.2) as many
as had been listed in the previous 6 days. Two earthquakes of Ml 1.9 were
also recorded northwest of Yellowstone at this time.
An earthquake of Ml 2.9, the largest in Hawaii in the past two weeks
was also recorded yesterday after the Honshu quake. Hawaii lies at
58 degrees from that event.

The Canadian Geological Survey had not yet published data for events
following the Honshu earthquake at this writing.

NEW ZEALAND

Strong activity in the New Zealand region followed the Honshu mainshock
after a day of very quiet regional conditions. IGNS reported a Ml 3.7 and
Ml 3.9 near Dannevirke, North Island and Kaikoura, South Island respectively
within 4 hours of the Honshu earthquake. Activity also continued
in the region south of the Kermadec Islands.

GEOMAGNETIC/SOLAR FIELDS

The geomagnetic field remained quiet since last report, although
SEC expects active conditions to begin today. An M2.0 solar flare
was observed last night (Dec. 2) with the following parameters:

Flare # START MAX END CLASS

8850 + 2125 2206 2229 M2.0

The Ml 3.4 earthquake in Mammoth Lakes occurred about 2 minutes
after this flare began and while the Mammoth Lakes region was
near sub-solar. The earthquake had the following parameters and
was followed by a strong aftershock sequence:

O: 02DEC2001 21:26:49 37.5N 118.8W Ml=3.4 NCSN SE of Mammoth Lakes, CA

A Ml 2.0 was also recorded in Germany about the same time:

O: 02DEC2001 21:32:13 49.5N 7.1E Ml=2.0 LED GERMANY

TROPICAL STORMS

OLGA

Tropical Storm Olga is off the coast of Florida today and expected
to stall over the Gulf Stream for at least the next three days. If
she gains intensity, her next move can probably not be anticipated
at this time. An earthquake was recorded in the Swan Fracture
zone this evening by CASC, but we await confirmation of this event.
This is one region where Olga was expected to promote local
seismicity.

BESSI-BAKO

Tropical Cyclone Bessi-Bako continues in the South Indian Ocean and
is moving slowly to the south-southeast. This storm is not expected to
impact regional seismicity significantly. For more details see:

http://www.wunderground.com/auto/HurricaneSite/tropical/sp200101.public.html

TIDAL TRIGGERING (LUNAR)

Statistics have been done on many regions of the world in terms of
relationship of significant regional earthquakes with respect to lunar cycle.
Each report will summarize the most likely areas for tidal triggering
for the next day based on these statistics. It is expected
that tidal triggering will add an additional 0.5 - 1.0 units of
magnitude to events which are about to occur or will move these
events forward in time by up to seven days in the regions where
there is a statistical correlation between lunar phase and
earthquakes.

December 04 is the twentieth day after the beginning of the lunar month.
Regions most likely to experience tidal triggering
on this day (With associated magnitude ranges; the percent change in
seismicity rate over background seismicity rate on this
day of the lunar month; statistical z-value and
significance level) are:

Region Magnitude range %change z-value Significance level

Central US MB>=1.0 63 2.7 0.03
India MB>=4.0 49 2.1 0.05

Regions expected to experience reverse triggering (i.e. they are
unlikely to experience a significant event at this period of the
lunar cycle) are:

Region Magnitude range %change z-value Significance level

Note: The Ml 3.4 is the largest Mammoth Lakes earthquake since Nov. 2000.
The Mammoth Lakes area was expected to be active at this time
because of the relationship with the geomagnetic storms at the end
of November. The seismic watch from those storms had included the
Mammoth Lakes region and had specifically noted the possibility of
seismic enhancement in this region on November 24 in the daily report:

" The seismic watch will include regions between 125W and 55W and
between 125E and 55E and will extend for the next 5 days. The
largest events are most likely to occur 4-6 days following the
storm, i.e. on November 30 to December 2, 2001 and are most likely
to occur in one of these longitude bands and/or at high latitudes.
... Any of these regions could see strong seismicity in the next
5-6 days. Regions most vulnerable towards the end of the period
include regions of high heat flow, such as YELLOWSTONE and
So. California near CALEXICO and MAMMOTH LAKES CA"

Honshu earthquake can be seen on the seismogram from Madison River at:
