Total Electron Content (TEC) Variations and Correlation with Seismic Activity over Japan

Earthquakes are extremely dangerous physical phenomena. The ability to properly forecast them would go a long way in reducing the damage they cause. One earthquake forecasting method being researched uses the ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC). Our investigation used TEC data from 2011 during certain days near and on the date of the earthquake off the coast of Tohoku, Japan. We took advantage of the large amounts of GPS records obtained by the GPS Earth Observation Network (GEONET) of Japan which contained the TEC data needed. This data was used to visualize the TEC over the course of the day of the Tohoku earthquake. The video produced abnormalities consistent with the predicted effect an earthquake has on the ionosphere. These abnormalities were shown to not be caused by solar and geomagnetic activity. These results suggest that detectable ionospheric activity precedes earthquakes. Ionospheric disturbances are also known to be caused by other confounding factors such as solar and geomagnetic activity. Careful analysis is included in this paper to exclude this class of disturbances from those that are seen to occur due to seismic and pre-earthquake activities. The hope is that the potential correlation between seismic and pre-earthquake activities may be used as an earthquake precursor towards the development of an earthquake forecasting method.
