| Abstract: |
Observation results are presented for the lower and upper ionosphere disturbances accompanying the passage and explosion of the Chelyabinsk space body. The effects near the meteoroid's path are investigated from the total electron content variations detected by GPS radio receivers. The ionosphere observations at distances of ∼2000-300 km are based on the ionosonde data and the phase and amplitude measurements for a radio signal at 66.67 kHz on the route from Moscow to Kharkiv. Manifestations are found both of acoustic and gravity waves following the passage and explosion of the space body. Their connection with the passage of the Chelyabinsk meteoroid is discussed.
