Seismo-ionospheric anomalies and implications from recent GNSS observations in India and South-East Asia
Abstract The lithosphere and the atmosphere/ionosphere, continuously exchange energy through various coupling mechanisms. Earthquake creates waves of energy, e.g. direct shock acoustic waves (SAWs) and Rayleigh wave induced acoustic waves (RAWs). In ...
