We present a comprehensive analysis of pre-seismic anomalies as computed from the ground and space-based techniques during recent Samos earthquake in Greece on 30 October 2020, with magnitude M = 6.9. proceed multi-parametric approach where irregularities are investigated stratosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere. use convenient methods acoustics electromagnetic channels Lithosphere–Atmosphere–Ionosphere-Coupling (LAIC) mechanism by investigating Atmospheric Gravity Wave (AGW), magnetic field,...
This study examines the response of thermal channel within Lithosphere–Atmosphere–Ionosphere Coupling (LAIC) mechanism during notable earthquake in Crete, Greece, on 27 September 2021. We analyze spatio-temporal profiles Surface Latent Heat Flux (SLHF), Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR), and Atmospheric Chemical Potential (ACP) using reanalysis data from National Oceanic Administration (NOAA) satellite. Anomalies these parameters are computed by removing background profile for a non-seismic...

We show evidences for anomalous ionospheric behaviour in the signal of Indian navy VLF transmitting station named VTX due to earthquakes South Asian region. concentrate on variation D-layer preparation time (DLPT) and disappearance (DLDT) a period sixteen months study their average behaviors. identify those days which DLPT DLDT exhibit significant deviations. Separately, we compute energy release by during this that "anomalous VLF" are associated with release. find anomaly...
We focus on the possible thermal channel of well-known Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling (LAIC) mechanism to identify behavior anomalies during and prior strong seismic events.

This study explores how the variation of atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) get modified and intensified during tropical cyclones using high-resolution ERA5 reanalysis data. AGWs play a vital role in understanding cyclone dynamics due to their connection with energy momentum transfer atmosphere. Different issues related six Bay Bengal from 2019 2022, spanning different intensities seasonal conditions, have been analyzed. Using temperature pressure data across 37 vertical levels, several...
Solar eclipses present a valuable opportunity for controlled in situ ionosphere studies. This work explores the response of upper atmosphere’s F-layer during total eclipse 8 April 2024, which was primarily visible across North and South America. Employing multi-instrument approach, we analyze impact on ionosphere’s Total Electron Content (TEC) Very Low Frequency (VLF) signals over three-day period encompassing (7–9 2024). Ground-based observations leverage data from ten International GNSS...

<title>Abstract</title> The present study investigates the effect of solar terminator time (TT) on low- and equatorial-latitude transmitter-receiver great circle path (TRGCP). Very Low Frequency (VLF) signals from VTX (18.6 kHz) NWC (19.8 transmitters, recorded at low-latitude Indian station, Dehradun, are utilized. TRGCP distance to Dehradun is ~6,962 km (long path), ~2,455 (short path). observations suggest that morning (TTM) forms due mode transitions both receiver transmitter for short...
