摘要: We retrospectively analyzed the temporal and spatial variations of four different physical parameters characterizing state atmosphere ionosphere several days before M9 Tohoku, Japan earthquake March 11, 2011. The data include outgoing long wave radiation (OLR), GPS/TEC, lower Earth orbit ionospheric tomography critical frequency foF2. Our first results show that on 7th a rapid increase emitted infrared was observed from satellite an anomaly developed near epicenter. GPS/TEC indicate variation in electron density reaching maximum value 8. Starting this day also there confirmed abnormal TEC over From 3 to 11 large concentration recorded at all Japanese ground-based ionosondes, which returned normal after main earthquake. joint preliminary analysis atmospheric during has revealed presence related these implying their connection with process. This study may lead better understanding response atmosphere/ionosphere great Tohoku
