摘要: In this paper we examine the pre-earthquake ionospheric anomalies by the total electron content (TEC) extracted from GIM (global ionospheric map) and the electron density (Ne) observed by the DEMETER (Detection of Electro-Magnetic Emissions Transmitted from Earthquake Regions) satellite during the 2010 M8.8 Chile earthquake. Temporal variations show the nighttime TEC and Ne simultaneously increase 9–19 days before the earthquake. A cross-comparison of data recorded during the period of 1 February to 3 March in 2006–2010 confirms the above temporal anomalies specifically appear in 2010. The spatial analyses show that the anomalies tend to appear over the epicenter. 出版者: Elsevier Ltd 出版日期: 2013-06-15 出處: Advances in Space Research, 2013-06, Vol.51 (12), p.2309-2315 資源來源: Elsevier ScienceDirect Journals Complete - Autoholdings 版權: 2013 COSPAR 識別號: ISSN: 0273-1177 識別號: EISSN: 1879-1948 識別號: DOI: 10.1016/j.asr.2013.02.006
