In the case of the 2011 quake, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites orbiting Earth captured the significant
ionospheric signature produced
by the quake's infrasonic wave output.
Our aim with this project was to develop
ionospheric techniques that can be used more widely
by researchers across the world.
The ionosphere is suggested to be directly coupled with the polar vortex and may vary it
by strong variations of
ionospheric winds.
It is triggered
by an alert signal for upcoming
ionospheric disturbances obtained from the online analysis of the IMF's observations obtained from ACE spacecraft.
The most important feature of the cross-correlation analysis is that for all months the
ionospheric response is composed
by two phases, positive and negative, with different duration and different time delay.
The modeling approach is based on presenting the
ionospheric parameter (most frequently the F - layer critical frequency foF2)
by analytical expressions as a function of one or more geomagnetic or solar indices, called drivers.
The quiet - time behavior of the
ionospheric electron density peak height of the F2 region, hmF2, has been evaluated from average electron density profiles and analytically modeled
by the Spherical Harmonic Analysis (SHA) technique following the same methodology as described
by Altadill et al. (2009).
STIM provides a correction factor to the quiet diurnal
ionospheric variation during storm conditions, which are determined
by monitoring IMF conditions in the Earth's vicinity.
Since the solar EUV radiation varies
by a factor of about 2 within a solar cycle (Lean et al. 2003), it is expected that the
ionospheric TEC is highly correlated with solar activity changes.
Then, as the
ionospheric response evolves and recovers on its own time scales, STIM estimates the time delay in the
ionospheric storm onset and formulates the
ionospheric storm - time response
by taking into account the latitude and the LT of the observation point at the storm onset.
In particular,
ionospheric disturbances caused
by large - scale phenomena such as the prolonged negative and positive effects observed all over Europe are sufficiently captured in ΔR12eff variation from the onset of the disturbance until the full recovery (Fig. 16).
A joint study carried out
by the Finnish Meteorological Institute and the Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory of the University of Oulu has developed
ionospheric electron density imaging techniques.
