The paper proposes an automated method for analyzing the ionospheric parameters and detecting ionospheric disturbances. The method is based on a generalized multicomponent model (GMCM) of ionospheric parameters developed by the authors. The model describes regular variations of ionospheric parameters and anomalous changes of different duration and intensity. The paper describes the operations of detecting ionospheric anomalies and their numerical implementation, provides estimates of the method efficiency. On the example of the foF2 ionospheric critical frequency data processing for the Kamchatka region, we demonstrate the possibility of applying the method in on-line mode. The method has been implemented in the “Aurora” system for complex geophysical data analysis.
