Abstract

Disturbances in the lower ionosphere and in the region of the maximum of the ionospheric F2 layer during the eruption of Shiveluch volcano in April 2023 are analyzed based on data from ground-based magnetometers and GPS radio sounding of the ionosphere. The magnetic stations were located at distances of 455 (Paratunka) and 752 km (Magadan) from the volcano. The variations in the magnetic field and total electron content of the ionosphere were studied as characteristics of the ionospheric response to this event. Analysis of the measurements showed that the ionosphere was impacted by seismic Rayleigh waves and atmospheric acoustic-gravity waves generated by volcanic explosions. The energy of several explosions was estimated from the amplitude of the ionospheric signal in the total electron content.
