| Zusammenfassung |
| The present paper describes surface (surface air temperature) and atmospheric
parameters (relative humidity, surface latent heat flux) over the epicenter
(18°27´25´´ N 72°31´59´´ W) of Haiti earthquake of
12 January 2010. Our analysis shows pronounced changes in surface and
atmospheric parameters few days prior to the main earthquake event. Changes
in relative humidity are found from the surface up to an altitude of 500 hPa
clearly show atmospheric perturbations associated with the earthquake event.
The purpose of this paper is to show complementary nature of the changes
observed in surface, atmospheric and meteorological parameters. The total
ozone concentration is found to be lowest on the day of earthquake and
afterwards found to be increased within a week of earthquake. The present
results show existence of coupling between lithosphere-atmosphere associated
with the deadly Haiti earthquake. |
