Abstract

Summary

On July 20, 2017, a large Mw 6.6 earthquake occurred as the result of normal faulting at a shallow depth in southeast of Bodrum, Turkey. In this study, the pre-earthquake ionospheric anomalies were investigated by CODE-GIM data. The TEC values of the epicenter were obtained from IONEX files using a simple 4-point bivariate interpolation. The ionospheric anomalies were detected by using a quartile-based process during 15 days before the earthquake. Kp, Dst magnetic storm indices and F10.7 solar index were utilized to cross-check TEC anomalies. The results show that the extreme positive anomalies were detected on 9, 16 July and the negative anomalies were detected 12, 17, 18 and 19 July. According to space-weather condition, it is thought that the detected anomalies were caused by the magnetic storms occurring in related dates.
