Jan 1, 2004 · Bhuj–Gujarat's earthquake (occurred on 26th January 2001, M S ∼ 7.9) has been considered as a test case in the validation phase, while a relatively unperturbed period (no earthquakes with M S ≥ 5, in the same region and in the same period) has been analyzed for confutation purposes. To this aim, 6 years of Meteosat-5 TIR observations have ...
