Ionospheric Signatures of the 2025 Mw 7.7 Myanmar Earthquake Revealed by GNSS Observations

摘要: 本研究针对2025年3月28日缅甸Mw 7.7级走滑型地震激发的同震电离层扰动(CSID),探究复杂震源破裂对地震–大气–电离层耦合过程的影响。基于IONISE与IGS地基GNSS观测网络的高时空分辨率TEC数据,通过滑动平均去趋势与2–6分钟周期四阶Butterworth带通滤波,有效提取CSID信号。结果表明:震后06:36–06:39 UTC期间,近场(<1000 km)区域清晰出现周期约5分钟的“N”型扰动,最大振幅达0.97 TECU;扰动在方位上呈现显著东西不对称性——东侧(30°–225°)振幅远高于西侧。该特征在多颗不同方位的卫星观测中一致存在,排除了视线方向几何效应或地磁场调制的主导作用。CSID水平传播速度介于1.6–3.4 km/s,具有明显方位依赖性,与地表瑞利波速度范围基本吻合,表明扰动主要由瑞利波模态激发。结合该地震初期双向破裂随后转为南向超剪切单向破裂的动力学特征,可合理解释观测到的方位非对称性。本研究证实,GNSS TEC观测能够有效捕捉震源破裂的方向性与动力学细节,为约束瑞利波辐射模式及深化跨圈层耦合机制研究提供了重要观测依据。

Abstract: This study investigates co-seismic ionospheric disturbances (CSIDs) triggered by the Mw 7.7 strike-slip earthquake in Myanmar on 28 March 2025, with a focus on how complex source rupture processes influence the earthquake–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling. High spatiotemporal resolution total electron content (TEC) data from the ground-based GNSS networks IONISE and IGS are employed. CSID signals are effectively extracted through sliding-window detrending and a fourth-order Butterworth band-pass filter with a period band of 2–6 minutes. Results show that during 06:36–06:39 UTC, a clear “N”-shaped disturbance with a dominant period of approximately 5 minutes and a peak amplitude of 0.97 TECU emerged in the near-field region (<1000 km from the epicenter). The disturbance exhibits pronounced east-west azimuthal asymmetry, with significantly larger amplitudes in the eastern sector (azimuth 30°–225°) compared to the west. This asymmetry is consistently observed across multiple satellites with diverse viewing geometries—including near-zenith and geostationary satellites—ruling out line-of-sight geometric effects or geomagnetic modulation as primary causes. The horizontal propagation velocity of the CSID ranges from 1.6 to 3.4 km/s, showing clear azimuthal dependence and aligning closely with surface Rayleigh wave speeds, indicating that the disturbance is predominantly excited by the Rayleigh wave mode. This azimuthal asymmetry is reasonably explained by the earthquake’s rupture dynamics—initial bilateral propagation followed by a unidirectional southward supershear rupture—which enhances Rayleigh wave radiation in specific directions via Mach wave effects. This study demonstrates that GNSS-derived TEC observations can effectively capture the directionality and dynamic details of coseismic rupture, providing critical observational constraints for characterizing Rayleigh wave radiation patterns and advancing our understanding of cross-layer coupling processes.
