Ionospheric total electron content (TEC) and atmospheric density perturbations were derived from measurements made from instruments on board the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) spacecraft. At the time of the Tohoku-Oki earthquake on 11 March 2011, the twin spacecraft were orbiting at an altitude of similar to 450km over Alaska. Significant TEC fluctuations (up to 0.6total electron content unit (TECU; 1TECU=10(16)elm(-2)), atmospheric density perturbations (similar to 3.610(-14)kg/m(3)), and sudden changes in GRACE acceleration (similar to 410(-8)m/s(2)) were observed similar to 8min after the arrival of seismic and infrasound waves on the ground in Alaska, similar to 20min after the Tohoku-Oki main shock at 05:46:23 UTC. The results of the three-dimensional ionospheric-thermospheric modeling and infrasound ray-tracing simulations are consistent with the arrival time and physical characteristics of the disturbances at GRACE. This is the first time that ionospheric disturbances associated with an earthquake are clearly attributable to perturbations at such high altitudes.
