摘要: A network of 6 ground-based GPS receivers in East Asia was employed to study seismo-traveling ionospheric disturbances (STIDs) triggered by an M 8.0 earthquake which occurred at Wenchuan on 12 May 2008. The network detected 5 STIDs on the south side of the epicenter area. A study on the distances of the detected STIDs to the epicenter versus their associated traveling times shows that the horizontal speed is about 600 m s-1. Applying the circle method, we find that the 5 circles intercept at a point right above the epicenter when the horizontal speed of 600 m s-1 is given. Global searches of the ray-tracing and the beam-forming techniques confirm that the STIDs are induced by vertical motions in the Earth's surface during the Wenchuan Earthquake. 出版者: Taiwan: 中華民國地球科學學會 出版日期: 2012-02-01 出處: TAO : Terrestrial, atmospheric, and oceanic sciences, 2012-02, Vol.23 (1), p.9-15 資源來源: Chinese Electronic Periodical Services (CEPS) 版權: 2012.
