Abstract—The possibility of remote studying the electromagnetic and ionospheric effects of the eruption of the Tonga volcano on January 15, 2022 is demonstrated. At distances up to 15000 km from the source, geomagnetic variations associated with Schuman resonance (SR) perturbations, propagation of Lamb wave and acoustic-gravity waves were detected. It is shown that the formation of a high-power source of thunderstorm activity caused by the eruption resulted in a significant (more than threefold) increase in the amplitude of geomagnetic disturbances at SR frequencies, which correlates with the number of lightning events. The effect of the eruption on the frequency characteristics of the SR was not detected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
