Abstract
This paper analyzes the signature effects of earthquake (EQ) events on the lower atmospheric levels mainly in the troposphere region. Significant changes and anomalies in temperature, relative humidity, and radio refractive index profiles are observed in most of these seismic events prior to the impending event, thereby providing a precursor method to predict the occurrence of EQ in the faulty zones. Temperature, relative humidity, and radio refractive index anomalies using electromagnetic signals have been considered mainly in the paper. A better understanding of the precursory signals involving radio wave propagation based on lower atmospheric conditions associated with such EQ devastating event is discussed in the paper.
