A large magnitude 7.8 earthquakes occurred in Ecuador at 23: 58: 36 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on April 16, 2016. In this paper, we revisit this earthquake by simultaneously analyzing the magnetic field data of Swarm satellite A and satellite C based on principal component analysis (PCA), and the eigenvalues and principal components are calculated throughout 2016. We find that the first principal component mainly contains the signal originating from solar-terrestrial effects such as geomagnetic activity since the first eigenvalue and the geomagnetic index are highly correlated. Therefore, the second principal component is used to extract the anomalies associated with the Ecuador earthquake in terms of skewness and kurtosis. The anomalous tracks of the S-K (Skewness-Kurtosis) coefficient are accumulated from 90 days before the event to 30 days after. The cumulative number follows an accelerating power-law behavior before the earthquake and decelerating recovery behavior after the earthquake; moreover, the inflection point of the sigmoidal fitting curve is close to the time of the earthquake. The cumulative number of anomalous tracks in the random regions shows a linear increase, further verifying the correlation between anomalies extracted and the Ecuador earthquake. This phenomenon could be related to the preparation phase and the aftershock phase of the Ecuador earthquake.
