Abstract: 

We developed a procedure for the identification of perturbations of the spatial-temporal distribution for neutral and charged particles on the basis of probe measurements with the use of ITM scientific equipment aboard the spacecraft “Sich-2”. The locations of volcano eruptions and epicenters of the earthquakes on the subsatellite path as well as the location of the North and South auroral peaks in the Earth’s ionosphere are determined.
Keywords: auroral peaks, Earth's ionosphere, earthquakes, perturbations of the spatial-temporal distribution for particles, the spacecraft “Sich-2”
