Greek data
Posted by G.Chouliaras on September 03, 2001 at 11:22:13:

Hi Don, actually i think that if one is forecasting events in Greece of low magnitudes i.e Mlocal<5 then the data from the Greek network is more reliable.USGS for example cannot locate well these events and auto-detect algorithms usually mislocate these events and give erroneous magnitudes. It is also noteworthy that martin@n.i.c.e had posted a forecast on Suzygy on the 25/7 and on the 26th we had the M=6.5 event in Central Greece. I had also indications based on the Quiescence hypothesis about that area but i have no way of estimating the time of the impending event, unless we have foreshock activity following the quiescence and that's what Martin@n.i.c.e based his prediction !
Shortly from now Stefan Weimer, Max Wyss and I will document this case in a short paper in GRL and an extended version will appear in Vol 5 in the Journal of Seismology last volume of this year finnaly after 3 years of reviews by "non-prediction scientists. Now i want to see what they will say after the GRL paper which is in the making concerning that main shock.
Keep up the faith and good work
Best wishes
Makis
