| Abstract: | The problem of earthquake prediction has revealed
correlation between seismic activity and ionospheric ion temperature and density
anomalies. This paper presents observations of the ion density measured with
the help of Retarding Potential Analyzer (RPA) payload aboard Indian SROSS-C2
satellite in the altitude ~500 km. The satellite data was analyzed from January
1995 to December 1996 to see the fluctuations in ion density over the seismic region.
The emphasis of this paper is on the anomalies in the low and mid latitude
ionosphere. The results obtained confirm the earlier results of ion temperature
anomalies over the same region. |
