1 V. M. Sorokin, V.M. Chmyrev, A. K. Yaschenko and M. Hayakawa Strong DC electric field formation in the ionosphere over typhoon and earthquake regions V. M. Sorokin, V.M. Chmyrev, A. K. Yaschenko and M. Hayakawa In this report we present the model of DC electric field formation in the ionosphere at the stages of earthquake and typhoon development that allows to explain numerous effects in space plasma. This field caused by electric current flowing in the ionosphere is controlled by dynamics of the lithosphere and the atmosphere processes through variations of external electric current in the lower atmosphere. External current is connected with convective transport of charged aerosols. Horizontal spatial scale of this current is about 10 to 100 km and the characteristic time scale is 1 - 10 days. In this report we present the model of DC electric field formation in the ionosphere at the stages of earthquake and typhoon development that allows to explain numerous effects in space plasma. This field caused by electric current flowing in the ionosphere is controlled by dynamics of the lithosphere and the atmosphere processes through variations of external electric current in the lower atmosphere. External current is connected with convective transport of charged aerosols. Horizontal spatial scale of this current is about 10 to 100 km and the characteristic time scale is 1 - 10 days.

3 Equation for horizontal distribution of the ionosphere potential over typhoon region. Convective transport of charged aerosols in the lower atmosphere at different stages of typhoon development leads to formation of external electric current. Its inclusion in the atmosphere – ionosphere electric circuit is accompanied by amplification of conductivity current that flows into the ionosphere. The current flowing within the conductive layer of the ionosphere is closed in the conjugate ionosphere through the magnetic field-aligned current. Convective transport of charged aerosols in the lower atmosphere at different stages of typhoon development leads to formation of external electric current. Its inclusion in the atmosphere – ionosphere electric circuit is accompanied by amplification of conductivity current that flows into the ionosphere. The current flowing within the conductive layer of the ionosphere is closed in the conjugate ionosphere through the magnetic field-aligned current. The equation for horizontal distribution of the ionosphere potential  obtained with consideration of oblique geomagnetic field and the conjugate ionosphere effects has a form: It is assumed that the rate of charge separation in unitary volume of cloud is of the order of: The calculations are provided at the following parameters: The external electric current is:

External electric current in the lower atmosphere 4. Conductivity electric current in the atmosphere – ionosphere circuit 5. Field - aligned electric current 6. Satellite trajectory 7. Charged aerosols injected into the atmosphere by soil gases

7 Equation for spatial distribution of DC electric field potential over seismic region The external current is excited in a process of vertical atmospheric convection of charged aerosols. Aerosols are injected into the atmosphere due to intensifying soil gas elevation during the enhancement of seismic activity. Its inclusion into the atmosphere – ionosphere electric circuit leads to such redistribution of the conductivity current that DC electric field increases up to 10 mV/m in the ionosphere. The equation for DC electric field potential has a form: The boundary conditions are as follows: Atmospheric electric field variations with time scale exceeding 1 day at the distances within tens to hundreds kilometers from earthquake center during seismically active period never exceed the background magnitudes ~ 10 - 100 V/m. The mechanism of feedback between disturbances of vertical electric field and the causal external currents near the Earth surface can explain such limitation.

8 Scheme of the feedback formation between external current and vertical electric field on the Earth surface 1 - Positive charged aerosols. 2 - Negative charged aerosols. 3 - Elevated soil gases. 4 - The Earth surface. Intensified soil gas elevation during the enhancement of seismic activity increases aerosols injection into the atmosphere. The field limitation on the Earth surface is caused by feedback mechanism between excited electric field and the causal external current. This feedback is produced by the potential barrier for charged particle at its transfer from ground to the atmosphere

19 Conclusion Convective transport of charged aerosols in the lower atmosphere at different stages of typhoon and earthquake development leads to formation of external electric current. Its inclusion in the atmosphere – ionosphere electric circuit is accompanied by amplification of conductivity current that flows into the ionosphere. The current flowing within the conducted layer of the ionosphere is closed in the conjugate ionosphere through the magnetic field-aligned current.

The current flowing within the conducted layer of the ionosphere is closed in the conjugate ionosphere through the magnetic field-aligned current. The computation method presented in this report allows calculating spatial distribution of the conductivity current and related electric field for arbitrary altitude dependence of atmospheric conductivity and horizontal distribution of external electric current at oblique geomagnetic field. The calculations show that DC electric field in the ionosphere can reach the magnitudes 10 to 20 mV/m.

Analyses of satellite data has revealed the electric field disturbances up to 20 mV/m in the ionosphere over typhoon and earthquake preparation zones. The ground-based observations did not reveal any significant long- term (1 to 10 days) electric field disturbances within earthquake area at the distances of tens to hundreds km from epicenter.

The effect of limitation of the vertical electric field magnitude on the ground creates significant advantage for satellite monitoring of seismic related electric field disturbances as compared to ground-based observations. Thus the ionosphere can be more efficient indicator of definite class of earthquake precursors than the ground-based observations.
