Abstract
Satellite National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) thermal data and well observations in Kamchatka peninsula, Far East, Russia were analysed together. Thermal anomalies arising as a reaction to three strong earthquakes were recorded. Water temperature, debit and hydrogen ion exponent (pH) changes were observed as a response on seismic events. Joint analysis indicates similarity in reaction of both satellite and ground observations on earthquakes. The model of litho-atom-ionospheric coupling in seismic processes is proposed.
