Ionospheric Disturbances Triggered by 2015 Nepal Earthquake Detected by GPS TEC
Abstract This paper analyses the ionospheric disturbances triggered by the 25 April 2015 Nepal earthquake, using data from 6 IGS GPS stations in the Nepal area. The results show that there are ionospheric disturbances with different frequencies (3 mHz and 4 mHz) above the Nepal area after the earthquake. We deduce that the disturbances with a frequency of 3 mHz within 1 000 km are generated by AGW(acoustic gravity wave) produced by vertical motions of the earth’s surface, and the disturbances with a frequency of 4 mHz, which can reach over 2 000 km, are caused by the Raleigh wave’s upward propagation. Furthermore, we invert the epicenter in the light of the observed disturbance location and empirical disturbance velocities, combining the two kinds of disturbance signals to validate our results. The inverted epicenter accords well with the real position.
