Automated geolocation of diverse impulsive events using total electron content measurements
Matthew Zettergren
Natural impulsive events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and thunderstorms, as well as anthropogenic events such as rocket launches and atmospheric re-entries, can generate acoustic-gravity waves (AGWs) that propagate in the upper-atmosphere and produce traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) observable with GNSS total electron content (TEC) measurements. We developed an algorithm for an automatic detection and geolocation of impulsive events using TEC observations of AGW-TIDs. Using
