  1. Interaction between Atmospheric and Space Weather Systems A.V. Zalizovski Institute of Radio Astronomy, NAS, Ukraine. Chervonopraporna str., 4. Kharkiv Antarctic Peninsula is a very suitable area for experimental investigations of troposphere-to-ionosphere energy transfer because this place characterized by the extremely high cyclonic activity, quiet background of mid-latitude ionospheric disturbances, magnetic anomaly, and rapid variations in the total ozone content. Analysis of long-term data sets obtained at Akademik Vernadsky station (former Faraday) has allowed to discover numerous facts showing the weather impact on the dynamics of middle and upper atmosphere. Among them are the correlation between atmospheric fronts and occurrence of sporadic structures in the E and F ionospheric regions, influence of large-scale cyclones on the ozone hole location and geometry, impact of the ozone layer on the troposphere-to-ionosphere energy transfer, etc.

  2. Where the troposphere impact on the ionosphere could be measured? • Atmospheric gravity waves (AGW) are the principal agent that can transfer the energy from troposphere. So, that should be the region with optimal… • Conditions for generation of AGW in the troposphere; • Conditions for energy transfer from movements of neutral atmosphere to the ionospheric currents and/or plasma characteristics; • Quiet background of ionospheric disturbances; • Conditions for propagation of AGW on the ionospheric heights.

  3. Conditions for generation of AGW in the troposphere are the best in the cloud systems The radiation balance of the atmosphere Гилл А. Динамика атмосферы и океана/ А.Гилл– М: Мир, 1986 г. В 2-х т. Т.1– 397с.

  4. Mechanism of energy transfer from the neutrals to the plasma movement is the ion drag Longitudinal distribution of efficiency of ion drag mechanism in the Northern and Southern hemispheres along the 65 degree of latitude

  5. Antarctic Peninsula • Unique interference conditions • Big difference between geographic and geomagnetic latitudes • Middle geomagnetic latitudes • High cyclonic activity • Geomagnetic anomaly • Weddell sea anomaly • Quick variations of total ozone content at the spring time

Farman, B.D. Gardner, J.D. Shanklin // Nature – 1985. – vol. 315. – P. 207-210. By using variations of ozone content during the ozone hole, it is possible to estimate the role of ozone layer inthe energy transfer between the atmospheric layers

  19. Summary • The energy transfer from the troposphere to higher atmospheric layers is effectively provided by propagation of internal atmospheric waves. • Analyzing the processes in the geospace we should take into account the disturbances in low atmosphere, especially in winter time.
