Relationship of Stress Changes and Anomalies in OLR Data of the Wenchuan and Lushan Earthquakes.

The Longmenshan fault zone in southwest China has produced two large earthquakes within the last few years: the Wenchuan earthquake with magnitude scale (Ms) 8.0 on May 12, 2008, and the Lushan earthquake with Ms 7.0 on April 20, 2013. In this paper, we investigate the Coulomb stress changes, the data from the strainmeters and pendulum tiltmeter which detected stress changes before the Wenchuan an...
