Electromagnetic effects in atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere initiated by earthquake preparation process

Abstract

It was established that the final stage of the earthquake preparation cycle is a complex chain of interactions between the geospheres and energy transformations where the electromagnetic processes play an important role [1]. The main and most important one — it is electromagnetic coupling between the ground surface and ionosphere leading to generation of ionospheric anomalies over the earthquake preparation area through the local modification of the Global Electric Circuit [2]. But on the way from the ground up the ionosphere and magnetosphere a lot of electromagnetic interactions of the smaller scale take place including the generation of electromagnetic emissions at different frequency bands and different altitudes, anomalies of the radio waves propagation of different frequencies, wave-particle interactions, aerosol layers electrification and electric discharges, electromagnetic effects in space plasma, etc. [3, 4]. The present paper concentrates on systematization of these lower scale electromagnetic effects leaving the ionospheric anomalies to other author's discussion.
