Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the Lower ionospheric variations from TEC observations during the intense seismic activity of October 2020 in the area of Greece. The data were analysed using both, statistical analysis of TEC variations in order to detect uneven gross variations and Discrete Fourier analysis in order to investigate the TEC turbulence. The results of this investigation indicate that the High-Frequency limit fo of the ionospheric turbulence content, increases as aproaching the occurrence time of the earthquake, pointing to the earthquake epicenter, in accordance with our previous investigations. We conclude that the Lithosphere Atmosphere Ionosphere Coupling, LAIC, mechanism through acoustic or gravity waves could explain this phenomenology. In addition, the statistical analysis shows an excess greater than 3𝜎 from the mean TEC values, one and seven days before the earthquake. Since no major disturbance of the geomagnetic field occured during these days, we conclude that we probably observed precursory ionospheric variations in accordance to analogous findings from the variation of VH/VHF electromagnetic wave propagrations over strong earthquake areas.
