abstract = "Co-seismic Ionospheric disturbances or ionoquakes are disturbances
in the ionosphere generated during the earthquakes. The present
study reports the rapid development of co-seismic TEC disturbances
within 400 seconds from the onset for the Illapel earthquake 2015
Mw 8.3, occurred on September 16, 2015, at 22:54:32 UT. The
spectral and propagation characteristics reveal that they are high
frequency acoustic oscillations that propagate with the acoustic
speed in the range of 0.8-1.5 km/s. Therefore, their origin
altitude is in the upper thermosphere above 200 km, in contrast to
the previously reported rapid ionoquakes from altitudes lower than
200 km. The rapid development of ionoquakes above 200 km altitude
demonstrates the robust energetics of seismo-atmosphere-ionosphere
coupling. Numerical simulation based on the
Seismic-Atmosphere-Ionosphere coupling mechanism and
Acoustic-Gravity Waves (AGWs) energy confirm the rapid arrival of
AGWs at ionospheric heights and the development of ionoquakes as
early as 400 seconds after the onset of the earthquake.",
