Abstract—Disturbances of seismic noise, magnetic field, electrical characteristics of the surface atmosphere and microbaric variations caused by the passage of cold atmospheric fronts of the 2nd kind are discussed. A new approach to a complex prognostic sign of strong atmospheric fronts, potentially dangerous by their effects such as hurricanes, squalls and severe thunderstorms, based on the analysis of joint variations of the electric field and vertical current of the surface atmosphere, magnetic field and micropulsations of atmospheric pressure in the period preceding the onset of the most intense manifestations of these phenomena, is proposed. The data obtained can contribute to improving the reliability of the short-term forecast of dangerous atmospheric phenomena.

Notes

  1. The observatory is ~85 km south of Moscow.

  2. During continuous monitoring, INEP instances are changed at regular intervals in order to keep work surfaces clean.

  3. Another possible mechanism to be considered in the generation of disturbances of the geomagnetic field is the electrodynamic effect during movement of electrically charged clouds and precipitation (Chekryzhov et al., 2019).

  4. The detailed scaled-up figure shows the stages of the formation of a thunderstorm cell.
