ANALYSIS OF IONOSPHERIC PARAMETERS ABOVE ACTIVE SEISMIC REGIONS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The aim of this paper is to examine the anomalous variations of the critical frequency (foF2), total electron content (TEC), and foEs parameters before earthquake occurred on 1 April 2014 near Iquique Chile (M=8.2) and event on 25 October 2013 in Japan (M=7.1). Using the bound method we analyzed the variations of foF2, TEC, foEs and NmF2 parameters. The anomalous variations in foF2, TEC, foEs and NmF2 parameters observed 1 day, 15 days, 4 days and 1 day prior to Chile event and anomalous variations in foF2, TEC and foEs observed 3 days, 3 days and 2 days prior to earthquake event of Japan.

Keywords:
foF2, TEC, foEs, NmF2, earthquake, ionospheric precursors, bound method
