The method of satellite monitoring of seismically hazardous areas based on a complex analysis of earthquake precursors is described. The proposed method was tested on the example of the August 2016 Central Italy earthquake. It was carried out by spatiotemporal analysis of the data of multi-year satellite monitoring for a complex of thermal and ionospheric parameters in seismically hazardous regions. The AIRS/Aqua Level 3 daily data (AIRS3STD) with the values of outgoing long-wave radiation (OLR), surface temperature (SST), and surface air temperature (SAT) were used to detect thermal precursors. Data were processed for the time period from 01.08.2016 to 01.09.2016, as well as data for previous years (from 2003 to 2015). Variations of total electron content (TEC) obtained from the GPS satellite navigation system by the ground stations AQUI, BELL, BZRG, IENG, MATE, NOT1, SOFI and unpg for the period from 01.08.2016 to 31.08.2016 were used for detection of ionospheric precursors. The results of a joint analysis of thermal and ionospheric precursors are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
