“…Namely, both fundamental mechanisms of the lithosphere-atmosphere-ionosphere coupling, i.e. coupling through the changes in the atmospheric electricity produced as result of integrated ionization from the increased radon emanation (Pulinets and Boyarchuk, 2004) and the conversion of atmospheric acoustic-gravity waves (AGW) and internal gravity waves (IGW) in the lower ionosphere (Hayakawa and Molchanov, 2002;Molchanov, 2004) can lead to the modulation of the ionosphere parameters, creating transparency of the ionosphere for a passage of the Alfvé n waves, which go from the magnetosphere down to the Earth's surface (Guglielmi and Pokhotelov, 1996;Guglielmi et al, 2006). We mention that IGW may reach the altitudes of 300-500 km, whereas AGW at frequencies 0.005-0.02 Hz may reach the altitudes of 200-300 km (Hayakawa, 1999;Koshevaya et al, 2005).…”
