摘要: 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 min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 min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, 即东侧(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均存在, 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–1, 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, 超剪切破裂理论上可能通过马赫波效应增强特定方向的瑞利波辐射. 本研究结果表明, GNSS TEC观测能捕捉震源破裂的方向性特征, 为理解瑞利波辐射模式及跨圈层耦合过程提供了有价值的观测线索.

Abstract: This study investigates Co-Seismic Ionospheric Disturbances (CSID) triggered by the Mw7.7 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 min. 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–1, showing clear azimuthal dependence and aligning closely with surface Rayleigh wave speeds, indicating that the disturbance is predominantly excited by the Rayleigh wave mode. The observed azimuthal asymmetry may reflect the modulation of Rayleigh wave radiation by the rupture directivity—initial bilateral propagation followed by unidirectional southward supershear rupture. Supershear rupture may theoretically enhance Rayleigh wave radiation in specific directions through Mach wave effects. Our findings suggest that GNSS-derived TEC observations are capable of capturing the directional characteristics of coseismic rupture, providing valuable observational insights into Rayleigh wave radiation patterns and lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling processes. -
