Abstract—The disturbances of the geomagnetic field in the surface atmosphere were considered during a series of strong earthquakes that occurred on April 2–3, 2024, in the vicinity of the island of Taiwan. The data from the Mikhnevo Geophysical Observatory of the Sadovskii Institute of Geosphere Dynamics, Russian Academy of Sciences, and the observatories of the international INTERMAGNET network were analyzed. It was shown that in the absence of sole-related global disturbances of the Earth’s magnetic field, earthquakes were accompanied by geomagnetic variations with a maximum amplitude of ~10 nT and a total duration of about four hours. The delay time of the magnetic effect relative to the main shock of the first earthquake was ~60 min. The ionospheric effect of the event considered was established in the form of variations in the critical frequency of the F2 layer of the ionosphere on the basis the ionograms of height–frequency sounding obtained at the Okinawa ionospheric monitoring station and freely available on the website of the Japanese National Institute of Information and Communication Technologies.
期刊介绍:
Doklady Earth Sciences is a journal that publishes new research in Earth science of great significance. Initially the journal was a forum of the Russian Academy of Science and published only best contributions from Russia. Now the journal welcomes submissions from any country in the English or Russian language. Every manuscript must be recommended by Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
