    Abstract: The ratio of P-to-S-wave velocities (Vp/Vs) is considered as one of the important measures of stressed natural rocks. The changes of this ratio were observed in various earthquakes, however the time of occurrence of the earthquakes were not determined, since the predictions were not combined with other prediction methods. This discriminant provides... Show More

    Abstract: In order to investigate the water vapor sources of summer precipitation in southern Xinjiang, especially Hotan area. Based on NCEP FNL 1°*1° analysis data and Xinjiang meteorological bureau area numerical operation prediction, a local precipitation event in southern Xinjiang on June 26 was analyzed, and the results showed that the water vapor invol...
