Abstract
This manuscript intends to demonstrate the diagnostic value of the previously discussed integrated parameter called atmospheric chemical potential (ACP) for tracking the atmospheric anomalies before strong earthquakes generated by the chain of processes initiated by air ionization due to radon emanation from the Earth’s crust. For this purpose, we considered several kinds of critical processes in the atmosphere using the ACP as an indicator and diagnostic tool: hurricane dynamics, the effects of radioactive pollution (the Chernobyl NPP accident), volcano eruptions and pre-earthquake atmospheric anomalies. We established that in all cases, some unusual features of the studied critical processes were revealed to be invisible when using certain methods of monitoring. This means that the application of ACP may improve the operative monitoring of the critical processes in atmosphere. In the cases of volcano eruptions and earthquakes, ACP can be used for short-term forecast.
