That chart will probably be updated again within an hour or two. However, in answer to your question,

The Earthquake Database line # 15 on the bottom of the chart shows how many earthquakes in the database file of more than 50,000 earthquakes occurred at a given longitude. Since the program tries to find matches between EM Signals and earthquakes in the database file it is more likely to find a match where there were already numerous earthquakes. And that is the case for the 65 W to 70 W area. So the program would naturally tend to point to that location and also the Japan area on its own.

However, I presently believe that the chart line peaks around 70 W that you are referring to are associated with volcanic activity. The volcano related EM Signals appear to overpower the earthquake related ones. And that causes problems for my program and I have to try to take that into account.

The program regards longitudes that are 90 and 180 degrees apart as being somewhat similar. And the activity around 70 W on the older chart lines look like it could be linked in part with the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. 155 – 90 = 65 or so.

There are no peaks in that longitude area on the 15 and 45 day Time Window lines. And that means that EM Signals detected during the past 15 and 45 days have pointed mostly to other areas.

Once again, the new Archive Web page at the site is intended to provide people with information on how well the program can be expected to do with earthquakes occurring at different locations. Some time today, several more earthquakes including the recent one in Turkey will probably be added to that Web page.
