Abstract
Earthquakes were not effectively predicted by us at present. Shallow earthquake has dangerous disaster to resulting loss of lives and properties. In order to reduce disaster occurred for earthquake, it is an effective way that earthquake early warning (EEW) system can be applied for strong motion early prediction. EEW provides alerts to urban areas of the forthcoming strong ground shaking. Depending on the specific geometry of the epicenter and the strong motion network used in EEW, the warning time can be a few seconds to tens of seconds. This warning time can be extremely important since even a few seconds can be sufficient for pre-programmed systems to have emergency response. In this study, in order to improve the accuracy of early warning. We explore two different correction methods. (a) Each station has site effect, so we want to reduce the impact of site effect. Let EEW method added correction items. (b) We found a linear relationship between the 𝑃𝑑 and PGA. Use this regression equation to estimate PGA. According to two correction methods, we can improve the accuracy of PGA.
