Abstract: 
The paper summarizes the results of the three-year research project concerning the transfer of powerful atmospheric disturbances to geospace altitudes. Atmospheric gravity waves (AGW) are the principal agent to execute this energy transfer. When traveling upward, linear AGWs can produce a periodic modulation of plasma parameters in the ionosphere. The growth of nonlinear AGW in amplitude causes turbulization of the plasma, which manifests itself as sporadic structures appearing in the E-and F-regions. The two mechanisms of AGW conversion to electric disturbances are illustrated on the basis of data from extended observations performed in Antarctica, New England (USA) and Europe.
Keywords: atmospheric gravity waves, ionosphere, plasma turbulization
