Relation between rock failure microwave signals detected by AMSR-E and a distribution of ruptures generated by seismic activity

It has already been confirmed that microwave signals are emitted by rock failures in our laboratory experiments. From the results of rock failure experiments, it has been concluded that the microwave signals generated by rock failures near the ground are strong enough to be detected by a satelliteborne radiometer like the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth-Observation System (AMSR-E) [1].
