We Near-field coseismic perturbations of ionospheric total electron content (TEC), caused by direct acoustic waves from focal regions, can be observed with Global Positioning System (GPS). They appear 10-15 min after the earthquake with typical periods of ∼4-5 min and propagate as fast as ∼1 km/s to...
