Description
Summary:Observations of disturbances in the geomagnetic field in the1÷1000 s period range and in the lower and upper ionospherethat followed the Chelyabinsk meteorite passage and explosionare presented. The effects in the vicinity of the Chelyabinskmeteorite path were studied through the variations inthe total electron content recorded by the GPS satellites.Ionospheric observations at a distance of ~ 2000 ÷ 3000 kmwere made using ionosonde data and the parameters of66 2/3 kHz radio signal along the Moscow–Kharkiv path.The manifestation of both acoustic and gravitation wavesthat followed the meteorite explosion were detected. Appreciablevariations in the geomagnetic field were not revealed(1÷1000 s period).
