“…It was a solar-synchronous-orbit satellite, with the local time of each orbit passing the equator being the same: 10:30 in the daytime and 22:30 in the nighttime. From its records, many ionospheric perturbations related to seismic cases have been detected (Parrot et al, 2006;Sarkar et al, 2007Sarkar et al, , 2012Zhang et al, 2009Zhang et al, , 2010aZhang et al, , b, 2012aZeng et al, 2009;Pisa et al, 2011;Liu et al, 2011). Furthermore, statistical analysis of different parameters has been developed to ascertain the relationship between ionospheric perturbations and large earthquakes (Némec et al, 2009;He et al, 2010He et al, , 2011Zhang et al, 2011Zhang et al, , 2012bPisa et al, 2012;Li and Parrot, 2012).…”
