Abstract
We observed the coseismic electromagnetic phenomena just at the occurrence of the earthquake in Sendai area. This earthquake's epicenter was very close, less than 10km from our observation site. Our site accidentally located on the fault of which underground tip slid at the focus. In addition to variations of the ground acceleration signals and the earth potential difference ones, we observed the clear variations of the atmospheric electricity using the system with 10ms sampling time. In its aftershock we can identify the very small coseismic variations of atmospheric electricity removing the other unnecessary signals. The model how this variation appears is proposed. More events are needed to make this clear and the observation must be continued.
