Annotation
The effect of the generation of ULF variations of the magnetic field during the propagation of acoustic-gravitaty waves (AGW) in the ionosphere is analyzed within a simple model. It is shown that AGW-induced ionospheric irregularities can significantly contribute to the ground magnetic field variations. Some changes in ULF variations associated with seismic events are considered as application of this mechanism.
