Abstract:The geomagnetic data of Enshi station, Jiangdong station in Fuling, Huangshui station in Shizhu, and Xiannushan station in Wulong from January 2012 to November 2017 were selected and the anomalies were analyzed. Then the calculation results of geomagnetic harmonic amplitude ratio and load/unload response ratio of each station were obtained. The geomagnetic anomalies before and after the Wulong, Chongqing M5.0 earthquake on November 23, 2017 were analyzed by combining with the geological structure background near the earthquake epicenter. The analysis results indicated that the variation characteristics of most harmonic wave amplitude ratios are similar to those of earth resistivity, showing a process of "down-turning-recovery". The M5.0 earthquake occurred in the early stage of turning upward. During the earthquake, the changing trend of geomagnetic harmonic amplitude ratios of stations with small epicentral distance are not synchronous, but their change amplitudes are roughly the same; the changing trend of geomagnetic harmonic amplitude ratios of stations with large epicentral distance are relatively synchronous, and their change amplitudes are large. In addition, the study also showed that the temporal and spatial distribution of abnormal high value of geomagnetic load/unload response ratio before the earthquake has a good corresponding relationship with the epicenter position.Keywords: geomagnetism; harmonic wave amplitude ratio; Wulong earthquake; tectonic setting
