Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to investigate co-seismic earthquake ionospheric signatures as detected by remote sensing instrumentation situated in Cyprus by exploiting Total Electron Content measurements from calibrated one sec RINEX files from the Cyprus Positioning System (CYPOS) GNSS stations and ionograms from the Cyprus Digisonde that is monitoring the electron density profile over Cyprus at five min resolution. Through these observations, we established atmospheric wave activity emanating from the earthquake epicenter that took place in Turkey on the 6 February 2023. The major earthquake shock of 7.8 (Mw) struck southern and central Turkey, as well as northern and western Syria km west–northwest of Gaziantep at 01:17 UTC. Subsequently a second 7.6 (Mw) earthquake occurred at 10:24 UTC to the north–northeast in Kahramanmaras Province. Following the first earthquake no ionospheric signatures were detected but the second earthquake around local noon caused notable acoustic wave activity on the ionosphere.
