SUMMARY

      The project is aimed to the fundamental problem of Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling due to Seismicity (LIACS). It combines results of observation both on board of satellites and on the ground together with theoretical interpretation of the results.
      Original approach to processing of the over the world electric field-plasma density variations recorded on a board of the satellites Cosmos-900, Intercosmos-24 and Aureol-3 allows us to find the statistical properties of the Ionospheric Turbulence (IT), its connection with ionospheric Equatorial Anomaly and its association with seismicity.
      In addition we consider also the geochemistry and ultra-low frequency magnetic field variations observed on the ground (at Kamchatka, Russia; and Italy), ground surface temperature changes retrieved on the base of NOAA satellites infra-red data (above Japan, Kamchatka and China) and seismo-induced perturbations from sounding by VLF and LF transmitter signals the atmosphere and lower ionosphere (at Japan, Kamchatka, Italy).
       As a result a general scheme of the LAICS reveals. It includes generation of the internal gravity wave turbulence (GW) near the ground surface due to intensification of the temperature and atmospheric density variations related to seismicity; propagation of GW energy flux through the atmosphere into ionosphere; transformation of the seismo-induced GW atmospheric turbulence in the electrostatic IT at the lower ionosphere followed by transformation of the electrostatic IT in the electromagnetic Alfven and isotropic compression waves at the middle ionosphere and inverse influence the IT on penetration of the ULF magnetic pulsations from magnetosphere to the ground surface. In this framework the proper theoretical modelings have been started.
