Around the world, earthquake forecasting studies have become very important nowadays due to the increase in number of fatal earthquakes annually. This paper proposes to achieve a possible relationship between soil radon gas concentration and atmospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) during earthquakes taking into account magnetic effects on the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) in Turkiye. The ARIMA and Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) are employed for determining radon gas concentrations by taking into account magnetic effects as an innovative approach. In the study area relatively small and medium-scale earthquakes have taken place during the observation period. As a result of the investigations, the relationships between each of the parameters and earthquakes are determined, and hence, a good relationship is obtained between Rn gas anomaly and micro-seismic activity. In the ionosphere, geomagnetic activity has a primary impact and long duration on TEC distribution, but due to microseismic events it has rather small in uence. The proposed ARIMA and MCS simulations to detect changes in soil Rn gas concentrations have signi cant results for detecting micro-seismic activity anomalies.

The proposed ARIMA and MCS simulations to detect changes in soil Rn gas concentrations have significant results for detecting micro-seismic activity anomalies.
A cross-correlation analysis is proposed to analyze the relationships of soil Radon-222 gas, Ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC), and some meteorological variables with earthquakes from the North Anatolian Fault Zone, Türkiye, one of the most active fault lines in the World. Statistically significant results are obtained for Earthquake-Rn gas changes and Seismo-Ionospheric Coupling. In addition, we think that this study will be an important step for further studies on earthquake precursors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
