Atmosphere Above Japan Heated Rapidly Before M9 Earthquake - Technology Review
During the last few years there has been much speculation about the atmospheric phenomenon which occurs prior to earthquakes. Often one will hear about the top secret "Aurora" project in Alaska.
Now new evidence from infrared satellite imaging sheds new light on earthquakes and perhaps offers a potential way to predict future quakes.

Page Excerpt
Infrared emissions above the epicenter increased dramatically in the days before the devastating earthquake in Japan, say scientists.
Geologists have long puzzled over anecdotal reports of strange atmospheric phenomena in the days before big earthquakes. But good data to back up these stories has been hard to come by.
In recent years, however, various teams have set up atmospheric monitoring stations in earthquake zones and a number of satellites are capable of sending back data about the state of the upper atmosphere and the ionosphere during an earthquake.
