Abstract

On March 11, 2011, a mega earthquake (magnitude-9.0) occurred off the Pacific coast of Tohoku, north central Japan, followed by a huge tsunami. In this short review, we present information about a variety of up to now published articles reporting different electromagnetic phenomena possibly related to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake or the associated tsunami. The reported anomalies are classified according to the type of electromagnetic phenomenon, while a timeline of occurrence is also provided.

Keywords: Tsunami; Earthquake; Pacific ocean; Geomagnetic field; Ionosphere; Seismo-electromagnetics
