Varotsos, P., Alexopoulos, K. and Lazaridou, M., 1993. Latest aspects of earthquake prediction in Greece based on seismic electric signals, II. In: P. Varotsos and 0. Kulhanek (Editors), Measurement and Theoretical Models of the Earth’s Electric Field Variations Related to Earthquakes. Tectonophysics, 224: l-37. The latest aspects of the physical properties of seismic electric signals (SES) that are used for earthquake prediction in Greece are described. The procedure currently followed for the selection of a site appropriate for the collection of SES and for the electric dipole configuration of such a station are reviewed. The process of constructing a map indicating the seismic areas for which such a station is sensitive is also described. A review of other electrical precursors observed in Greece is given, along with a summary of the newest theoretical models of the generation of SES. The compatibility of these models with the existing data on SES is discussed. Furthermore, a number of unsolved problems are listed, along with suggestions for future experimentation.
