Abstract
Anomalous changes in the parameters characterizing the state of the ionospheric layers E and F, observed before the onset of seismic events, can be considered as possible ionospheric precursors of these earthquakes. In this work, according to the data obtained at the ionospheric station of vertical radio sounding, located in Paratunka (\(52.97^\circ \) N, \(158.24^\circ \) E), an analysis of ionospheric disturbances recorded before the onset of earthquakes with magnitude \(M\ge 5.0\) that occurred in the Kamchatka region was carried out. Anomalous values of the limiting reflection frequency foEs, the screening frequency fbEs and the virtual height \(h'Es\) of the sporadic Es layer, as well as the critical frequency foF2 of the F2 layer and the virtual height \(h'F\) of the F layer in the absence of geomagnetic disturbances were considered as possible ionospheric precursors of earthquakes. The predictive efficiency of the anomalous behavior of the complex of considered ionospheric parameters for earthquakes with \(M\ge 5.0\) is estimated.
