摘要
A significant decrease in the radon concentration of artesian groundwater was observed at a well-established observation site in Northeast Japan about two days before an M 6.0 earthquake occurred about 200 km from the site. On the basis of a concurrent in situ (-126 m) temperature drop of the groundwater, we infer that precursory changes in regional stress were locally amplified near this site and resulted in the temporary mixing of cooler, radon-poor groundwater into the normal artesian flow.
