The effectiveness and accuracy of earthquake precursors are measured by the ability of the precursors to predict the time, epicentral distance, and magnitude of the earthquake for short-term earthquake prediction. Past articles were reviewed to examine various studies of short-term earthquake precursor detection, particularly those that involved monitoring variations in total electron content (TEC). In this review, we examine recent studies that explore the use of the TEC parameter in the Lithospheric-Atmospheric-Ionospheric (LAI) interaction to forecast earthquake characteristics, including detection time, epicentral distance, and magnitude. This review characterizes anomalous observations of TEC parameters that may be linked to subsequent seismic events and investigates their correlation with earthquake properties. It has been conclusively demonstrated that TEC parameters show significant variations prior to earthquakes, and these results can be used in combination with other parameters to forecast earthquake properties.
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.
