Observing Ionospheric Signatures of the Indian Ocean Tsunami triggered bythe M9.3 Sumatra Earthquake00:58:53 UT 1226, 2004 Iononami - ionospheric tsunami signatures Space Tide-Gauge (STG)
Result • It is found that the tsunami waves triggered atmospheric waves near the sea surface, which then traveled upward with an average velocity of about 730m/s into the ionosphere and significantly disturbed the GPS TEC (or ionospheric electron density) within it. • The giant iononamis which have maximum heights of about 10 km, periods of 10-20 minutes, and horizontal wavelengths of about 100-200 km, travel away from the epicenter with an average horizontal speed of about 700 km/hr.
Conclusion • There are worldwide about thousands of ground-based GNSS sites, which provide an excellent chance to continuously monitor ionosphere.
