Potential reasons for ionospheric anomalies detected by nonlinear principal component analysis just before the China Wenchuan earthquake, and their relationship to source conditions

Nonlinear principal component analysis (NLPCA) was performed to examine the total electron content (TEC) anomalies for the China Wenchuan earthquake of May 12, 2008 (= 7.9). This was applied to global ionospheric maps (GIMs) at heights from 150 km to 450 km, with the transforms conducted for the tim...
