Keywords: magnetic storm, infrasound vibrations, magnetic field, electric field, positioning error, energy of turbulent motions, variation, weather.
Аnnotation: For the first time, we present the results of complex instrumental observations of geophysical effects in the surface atmosphere accompanying strong magnetic storms. As an example, the events of May 10‒11, 2024 (Kp = 9), October 10‒11, 2024 (Kp = 9) and January 01, 2025 (Kp = 8) are considered. It was found that magnetic storms were accompanied by pronounced variations in the electric field, microbaric variations and increased variations in the pseudo-positioning error of the global navigation satellite system GPS. It is also shown that magnetic storms are accompanied by changes in the characteristics of turbulence in the surface atmosphere. Given the recent increase in the number of strong magnetic storms, the data obtained can be useful in assessing the impact of their effects on the functioning of modern radio and electronic systems, as well as in developing a new approach to monitoring trends in weather and climatic conditions.
