Global correlation of Swarm satellites magnetic field and TEC data with M4+ earthquakes between 2014 and 2024

Between 50 and 80 earthquakes are recorded daily, resulting in over 20,000 yearly seismic events. Currently, no reliable earthquake precursors can provide an early warning. Still, research has inspected anomalies in the Magnetic Field Vector over the Y-axis (MFV-Y) and Total Electron Content (TEC) a...

This study has employed a large global dataset of MFV-Y and TEC data acquired from Swarm satellites between 2014 and 2024 to analyze ionospheric anomalies in earthquake-affected areas.
