Abstract

Based on data from ground-based vertical sounding of the ionosphere, we analyze disturbances in the region of the maximum of the ionospheric F2-layer during the period of a strong eruption of the Stromboli volcano (Italy) in the form of two explosions in July and August 2019, as well as after the resumption of volcanic activity on October 9, 2022. As characteristics of the ionospheric response to these events, we research variations in the critical frequency of the F2-layer at the Giebilmann, Rome, and San Vito stations located near (no further than 450 km) the volcano. The measurement results indicate the influence on the ionosphere of atmospheric acoustic-gravity waves generated by volcanic activity and causing the appearance of long-lived disturbances in the ionosphere.
