  1. t D is the time delay between the seismic wave and observation of the related Doppler shift fluctuations f D , h M is the modeled height for the time t D , c S is the speed of sound, h I is the height derived from ionosonde measurements, w A , w A + C and w is the air particle oscillation velocity computed from Eqs. (7), (9), and (13), respectively (c S0 = 334 m/s in the Czech Republic and c S0 = 346 m/s in Taiwan, depending on air temperature on ground), and v z stands for the vertical velocity of ground surface motion
