“…The interaction of these spheres among themselves, as well as with the sun, the moon, and the planets of the solar system, determines the geodynamics of Earth as a planet [1][2][3]. Between the individual elements of this geodynamic system there are connections that are clearly traceable in time and space, the study of which is an important element in the knowledge of our planet [4,5]. Obviously, the huge size of this geodynamic system does not allow the carrying out of area-based direct observation of its physical fields, so the role of remote-sensing methods, which have been widely developed in recent decades, is increasing [6][7][8][9][10].…”

The noise-like behavior of geomagnetic anomalies observed in Tlamacas station (the Popocatepetl volcano, Mexico), linked to the ionization produced by intensive radon release, is presented in the experimental part of the study. The magnetic-field perturbations produced by electrical currents due to micro-discharges on the terrain irregularities are considered in a theoretical model. The simulations demonstrated that the discharge mechanism can generate perturbations with magnitudes of up to 1–10 nT in the ultra-low frequency (ULF)) range of 10−3–10−1 Hz. ULF Magnetic-field perturbations can be higher within storm-weather conditions under an accumulation of electric charges in clouds in the mountainous regions.
