Popis: During the recent few years different physical models were developed trying to explain the physical mechanisms of electromagnetic and plasma phenomena observed in the area of anticipated earthquake on different levels: near the ground, in the atmosphere and in the ionosphere. All existing models are based on certain hypothesis because of lack of sufficient experimental data. In the best case, the models had to use the data collected at different places, and in different time, for different earthquakes. The project PREVENTION (PREcursors of Volcano Eruptions and Notable Tremors Integral ObservatioN) intends to establish a complex geophysical observatory in one of the most seismically active and potentially dangerous areas of Mexico – the State of Guerrero. The measurements will be done on all levels from the underground to the space to obtain simultaneous multi-parameter data for direct examination of existing physical models of seismo–ionospheric coupling. The second site of experimental survey will be established in the vicinity of Popocatepetl volcano to study the relation between volcanic activity and the ionospheric effects. The concept of the observatory is presented.
