Before many catastrophic phenomena such as earthquakes, sound is generated at a very low frequency. It is already established that it can disturb the upper layer of the atmosphere – the ionosphere. Control of disasters' precursors is important. Using the unique, powerful sound generator, whose loudness is comparable to an ascending jet, we have constructed the theory and conducted a series of experiments trying to model acoustic action of disasters on the ionosphere.

The major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) dramatically changed atmospheric conditions. This event is accompanied by a sharp increase in the polar stratosphere temperature, zonal wind reverse, and strong changes in the polar mesosphere. These changes affect even the midlatitude mesosphere, which is not widely covered by observations. Our newly installed microwave radiometer allowed for studying mesospheric zonal wind and CO variations to understand the SSW 2018 effects at midlatitudes.

Twenty years ago we discovered that the ozone hole shape is asymmetric. This asymmetry is minimum over the Weddell Sea region and maximum over the Ross Sea area. Later we detected that the position of the ozone minimum is shifting east. We have continued to follow this event, and a couple years ago we revealed that the shift is slowing down and starting to move back. We connect all this movement with ozone hole increase; since 2000 the ozone layer has been stabilizing and recently recovering.

A large explosion released a significant amount of energy into the Earth's upper atmosphere in Beirut on 4 Aug 2020, generating traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs). These TIDs were observed in previous work using GPS total electron content measurements around Beirut. Here, we used measurements from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program and ionosondes in the Mediterranean to show that the TIDs from the Beirut explosion were able to reach greater distances than previously reported.

The receiver at the Harbin Engineering University and eight surrounding HF broadcast stations ~1000 km observed the response in the ionospheric electron density to the activity of Typhoon Kong-rey (30 September–6 October 2018). On 1–2 and 5–6 October 2018, the 20 min to 60 min period quasi-sinusoidal variations in the electron density with an amplitude of 0.4 % to 6 % resulted in 0.1 Hz to 0.5 Hz amplitude Doppler shift variations, a factor of 2–3 increase as compared to a quiet time reference.

The solar eclipse of 5–6 January 2019 perturbed the ionospheric electron density, N, observed with the receiver at the Harbin Engineering University and 14 HF broadcasting stations ~1 000 km around. It was accompanied by ±1.5 Hz Doppler-spectrum broadening, ±0.5 Hz Doppler shift, fD, variations, 15 min period variations in fD caused by 1.6–2.4 % perturbations in N, and period changes of 4–5 min in fD caused by 0.2–0.3 % disturbances in N. The decrease in N attained ~15 % (vs. modeled 16 %).

In this work, we use the Disturbance Ionosphere indeX (DIX) to study equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) events over the Brazilian equatorial and low latitudes. Our results showed that the DIX detected EPB disturbances in terms of their intensity and occurrence times. Therefore, these responses agreed with the ionosphere behavior before, during, and after the studied EPBs. Finally, these disturbances tended to be higher (lower) in high (low) solar activity.

We combined the observed diurnal VLF amplitude variation in the D region with standard measurements of the E and F regions to perform a diagnostic investigation of coupled geomagnetic storm effects in order to understand the observed storm-induced variations in VLF narrowband based on state and responses of the ionosphere. The dayside VLF amplitude showed a tendency for attenuation following geomagnetic storms, and the h’E and h’F variations confirmed strong storm response over the signal paths.

The 30 August–2 September 2019 geospace storm and its influence on the characteristics of high frequency radio waves over the People's Republic of China have been analyzed. The geospace storm was weak, the magnetic storm was moderate, and the ionospheric storm was moderate to strongly negative, which manifested itself by the reduction in the ionospheric F-region electron density. Appreciable disturbances were also observed to occur in the ionospheric E-region and possibly in the Es layer.

Travelling ionospheric disturbances behave like waves in the ionosphere, the ionised upper part of the atmosphere. In this study, we use an ionospheric tomography technique to map the electron content as affected by the passage of a large-scale travelling ionospheric disturbance launched during the largest geomagnetic storm observed by modern instruments. This is the first such imaging using this software and to the authors' knowledge the first study of this travelling ionospheric disturbance.

The analysis of unexpected ionospheric phases before large earthquakes is one of the cutting-edge issues in earthquake prediction studies. Ionospheric TEC data were analyzed by short-time Fourier transform and a classic running median to detect abnormalities before the Mw 7.3 Iran–Iraq earthquake on November 12, 2017. The results showed clear positive anomalies 8–9 d before the earthquake as an earthquake precursor due to quiet space weather, local dispersion, and proximity to the epicenter.

Underground nuclear explosion (UNE) can produce ionospheric disturbances through a lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling mechanism, which is very similar with earthquakes. By using the total electron content observations and Swarm ionospheric current data, we have investigated the geomagnetic conjugate ionospheric disturbances. We proposed that the electric field generated during the UNE test can be an important mechanism for ionospheric disturbance.

A localized total electron content enhancement (LTE) was observed as a product of the geomagnetic storm that happened on 8 September 2017. This result was unexpected because it was located south of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA). The origin of the enhancement of the TEC in the EIA is very likely due to the super-fountain effect. On the other hand, the LTE is suggested to be produced by the contribution of the super-fountain effect along with traveling ionospheric disturbances.

Comparing Swarm GPS-only gravity fields to the ultra-precise GRACE K-Band gravity field schematic errors occurs around the geomagnetic equator. Due to the end of the GRACE mission, and the gap to the GRACE-FO mission, only Swarm can provide a continuous time series of gravity fields. We present different and assess different approaches to remove the schematic errors and thus improve the quality of the Swarm gravity fields.

In this contribution, we analyse the performance of the Swarm onboard GPS receiver and present the approach for determination of the IfE Swarm kinematic orbit with PPP. The differences between our kinematic orbits and ESA reduced-dynamic orbits are at 1.5 cm, 1.5 cm and 2.5 cm level in along-track, cross-track and radial directions, respectively. A comparison with SLR underlines an accuracy of the kinematic orbits of 3–4 cm.

Short summary
The paper analytically and numerically treats the new theoretical basis for ground-based and satellite monitoring of the most powerful processes in the lower atmosphere and Earth (hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.), solar-wind magnetosphere (magnetic storms) and ionosphere (lightning discharges, thunderstorms, etc.). This can be provided by the determination of phases and amplitudes of radio waves in the Earth and ionosphere. In perspective, damage from the natural disasters can be decreased.
