Abstract

Ionospheric disturbances recorded by GPS satellites on June 21–27, 2014, over the Mediterranean Sea during a meteotsunami are considered. It is shown that, during the event, the intensification of disturbances in the upper atmosphere of this region can be observed with a spectrum similar to those of ground-pressure variations and almost simultaneous variations of sea level (meteotsunami). The conclusion was made about a possible relationship between the ionospheric response and the process of meteotsunami development.
