The characteristics of electron density (Ne), GPS TEC, ULF electric field, ion drift velocity, and ionosphere height were extracted and compared with the features of the signal-noise ratio (SNR) from VLF transmitters of NWC at the southern hemisphere and JJI at the northern hemisphere. Most disturbances in VLF radio waves occurred along the orbits near the epicenter within 10 days before the earthquake. Along these orbits, we observed simultaneous modulations in the Ne and ULF electric field, as well as the changed ion drifting directions. There was also high spatial correspondence between both SNR and ionospheric height anomalies over the epicentral and its magnetic conjugate regions. Combined with the multi observations, these results suggest that the genesis of perturbations in signals emitted by VLF transmitters on satellite was more likely related to the overlapped electric field in the preparation area of the earthquake.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12244050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,8]],"date-time":"2021-01-08T08:58:34Z","timestamp":1610096314000},"page":"4050","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Multi-Experiment Observations of Ionospheric Disturbances as Precursory Effects of the Indonesian Ms6.9 Earthquake on August 05, 2018"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Xuemin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Earthquake Forecasting, China Earthquake Administration, Beijing 100036, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yalu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Earthquake Forecasting, China Earthquake Administration, Beijing 100036, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Boudjada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Space Research Institute, Austrian Academy of Sciences, 8042 Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Earthquake Forecasting, China Earthquake Administration, Beijing 100036, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0086-6288","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Werner","family":"Magnes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Space Research Institute, Austrian Academy of Sciences, 8042 Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yulin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Earthquake Forecasting, China Earthquake Administration, Beijing 100036, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaohui","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Earthquake Forecasting, China Earthquake Administration, Beijing 100036, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hayakawa, M.
