ABSTRACTA problem of analytical-numerical modeling of the plane wave propagation from an
ocean surface to the atmosphere is considered. We are interested in the thermosphere impact
of tsunami waves. We suppose that the transport of energy and the momentum from lower
atmosphere to thermosphere heights is due to acoustic waves.
A set of expressions for the atmosphere variables (pressure, velocity, entropy) as a function
of the atmosphere parameters, time and height is derived and illustrated by plots. The
surface water wave parameters, typical for tsunami also enter final expressions for the atmosphere
and ionosphere variables.
