Coseismic ionospheric disturbances triggered by the Chi‐Chi earthquake
[1] At 17:47 UT on 20 September 1999, a large earthquake of magnitude Mw 7.6 struck the central Taiwan near a small town of Chi‐Chi. The ground‐based receivers of the global positioning system (GPS) in the Taiwan area detected coseismic ionospheric disturbances (CIDs) in the total electron content (TEC) triggered by the Chi‐Chi earthquake. When the CIDs travel away from the origin on the Earth ...
متن کاملCoseismic release of water from mountains: Evidence from the 1999 (Mw 5 7.5) Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake
Earthquake-induced increases in streamflow, producing ;0.7 km3 of total excess water, were documented after the 1999 (Mw 5 7.5) Chi-Chi earthquake in central Taiwan. Analysis of stream gauge data and well records suggests that the excess water originated in the mountains. We propose that the extensive high-angle fractures formed during the earthquake allow rapid release of water from mountains ...

متن کاملHorizontal coseismic deformation of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake measured from SPOT satellite images: Implications for the seismic cycle along the western foothills of central Taiwan
[1] The 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, Mw = 7.6, broke a major thrust fault along the western foothills of the Central Range of Taiwan. We have measured the horizontal coseismic displacement field by correlating optical satellite images acquired before and after the earthquake. These data reveal the fault trace and a clockwise rotation of surface displacements toward the north with much larger displa...
متن کاملDisaster epidemiology and medical response in the Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan.
STUDY OBJECTIVE We examine the mortality and morbidity associated with earthquakes in the Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan in 1999. METHODS Crude casualty data were collected from the reports of the government, local health bureaus, and 97 hospitals. The demographic data from the annual report of the Department of Interior were also employed for data analysis. Cross tables showing incidence of de...
