Short summary
The analysis of unexpected ionospheric phases before large earthquakes is one of the cutting-edge issues in earthquake prediction studies. Ionospheric TEC data were analyzed by short-time Fourier transform and a classic running median to detect abnormalities before the Mw 7.3 Iran–Iraq earthquake on November 12, 2017. The results showed clear positive anomalies 8–9 d before the earthquake as an earthquake precursor due to quiet space weather, local dispersion, and proximity to the epicenter.
