Abstract: This paper summarized the short-term anomalous characteristics of simulated and numeralized deformation before the Dayao MS6.2 earthquake, 2003 in Yunnan Province. Simulated deformation tilt one-way data demonstrated the obvious expediting change and turning change; crustal stress demonstrates step change and big amplitude motion change before the earthquake; gravity has not shown anomaly. Anomalous distribution is 97 km to 346 km from the epicenter. The anomalous station ratio (within distance of 400 km from the epicenter) is 35.7%. Among 9 observation items of numeralized deformation, tilt and crustal stress at Chuxiong station show outstanding change, though it is impacted by rainfall, it still has short-term precursory significance.
