AGW as a seismo-ionospheric coupling responsible agent

Abstract The seismo-ionospheric coupling is one of the hot topics of modern scientific research. The importance to shed more light to this process is connected with the study of ionospheric earthquakes precursors in the ionosphere, monitoring of which could be a further step to the scientifically substantiated solution of the problem of earthquakes warning. The energy transmission channel “from below” in the lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere–magnetosphere system is analyzed and atmospheric gravity waves are identified as the most probable energy carriers for the troposphere–ionosphere coupling.
