Antarctic Peninsula is a very suitable area for experimental investigations of troposphere-to-ionosphere energy transfer because this place characterized by the extremely high cyclonic activity, quiet background of mid-latitude ionospheric disturbances, magnetic anomaly, and rapid variations in the total ozone content. Analysis of long-term data sets obtained at Akademik Vernadsky station (former Faraday) has allowed to discover numerous facts showing the weather impact on the dynamics of middle and upper atmosphere.

Where the troposphere impact on the ionosphere could be measured?
Atmospheric gravity waves (AGW) are the principal agent that can transfer the energy from troposphere. So, that should be the region with optimal…
1.Conditions for generation of AGW in the troposphere;
2.Conditions for energy transfer from movements of neutral atmosphere to the ionospheric currents and/or plasma characteristics;
3.Quiet background of ionospheric disturbances;
4.Conditions for propagation of AGW on the ionospheric heights.

Conditions for generation of AGW in the troposphere are the best in the cloud systems
Mechanism of energy transfer from the neutrals to the plasma movement is the ion drag

By using variations of ozone content during the ozone hole, it is possible to estimate the role of ozone layer in the energy transfer between the atmospheric layers
