Abstract
The calefacient phenomenon in the vicinity of the epicenter before an earthquake has observed. It shows that there exists some abnormal information of heat radiation in the seismogenic zone. It might be helpful to open up a new research field of survey the hot omen of earthquake and to improve the capability of earthquake prediction by using the satellite remote sensing technology.
