NRL 3D ionosphere simulation code (SAMI3)
• SAMI3 is a 3D low-latitude ionospheric model developed at the Naval Research Lab
• SAMI3 simulates the temporal and spatial evolution of seven ion species (H+,He+,N+,O+,N2
+,NO2+,O2
+) over the entire magnetic flux tube in both hemispheres
• The density and velocity equations are solved for all ion species.
• Ion temperature equation and electron temperature equations
• The altitude range is ±30° and the longitude range is 8° for our case
• The range of magnetic apex height is 85 to 2400 km19

Summary• The magnitude of current density Jrock is the most
important parameter to determine the TEC variations and nighttime bubble formation in the ionosphere.
• The current density Jrock = 10 - 100 nA/m2 in the earthquake fault zone can cause TEC variations of up to 2 – 20 % in daytime ionosphere.
• A current density Jrock = 1 - 10 nA/m2 can lead to nighttime TEC variations of 2 - 20 % as well as the formation of nighttime plasma bubble (equatorial spread F) extending over the whole magnetic flux tube containing the earthquake epicenter.
• Daytime and nighttime TEC variations and nighttime plasma bubbles within the affected region can be used as precursors for earthquake prediction.
