Study of Ionospheric Effects and Earthquake Precursors Using Radio Engineering Methods

Abstract

Features of the remote sensing of seismic disturbances in the lower ionosphere are considered according to observation data of lightning electromagnetic signals passing over the earthquake epicentre, in Yakutsk. The technique has the ability to scan a large seismically active region or even several regions directly from one point, though in some azimuths there are limitations due to insufficiently high lightning activity. The location of the signal receiving point allows you to explore such seismic regions Kamchatka, Japan, China, the Philippines and Indonesia, South Yakutia, and Baikal, provided there is a good thunderstorm activity.
