Scientific paper

A series of ionospheric anomalies following the Sumatra tsunami has been reported in the scientific literature (e.g., Liu et al. 2006; DasGupta et al. 2006; Occhipinti et al. 2006). Similar anomalies were also observed after the tsunamigenic earthquake in Peru in 2001 (Artru et al., 2005) and after the recent earthquakes in Sumatra and Chile in 2007. All these anomalies show the signature in the ionosphere of tsunami-generated internal gravity waves (IGW) propagating in the neutral atmosphere over oceanic regions. Most of these ionospheric anomalies are deterministic and reproducible by numerical modeling (Occhipinti et al., 2006, 2008) via the ocean/neutral atmosphere/ionosphere coupling mechanism. In addition, the numerical modeling supplies useful helps in the estimation of expected anomalies to explore and identify new techniques to detect the tsunami signature in the ionosphere, other then GPS and altimeters. Here we present an overview of the physical coupling mechanism highlighting the advantage of OTH radar in the tsunami detection by ionospheric sounding. The large coverage of OTH radar and its sensitivity to plasma anomalies can open new perspectives in the future oceanic monitoring and tsunami warning system. [Artru et al., 2005] Geophys. J.
