Ionspheric perturbations are caused by shock acoustic waves of Mw 8.1 Pisagua earthquake.
Average horizonatal propagation velocity of the acoustic wave has been estimated as 1180 m/s.
The coseismic ionospheric peak-to-peak signal found to be ~1.25 TECU and confined to ~1000 km radius.
Spatial distribution of the ionospheric response discussed.
Feasibility of ionospheric response from Rayleigh and Tsunami waves discussed.
The primary acoustic waves and the secondary gravity waves are discerned using wavelet spectrograms.
