摘要

The article considers an algorithm for monitoring the variations of spatial distributions of seismic energy before a strong earthquake in its epicenter area with the use of multifractal methods for data processing. The algorithm was applied to analyse the process of preparation of the Bodrum-Kos earthquake (Aegean Sea, 2017, M = 6.6). 16 f(a)-spectra of multifractal fields, modelling successive stages of this process, were obtained. The analysis was based on the ISC-catalog seismic data with the help of a sliding time window for the last 10 years before this earthquake. The growth of unfoldment and variations of asymmetry of f(a)-spectra before the Bodrum-Kos earthquake were found. The quantitative characteristics of the observed effects are proposed, along with their physical interpretation.
