Schumann Resonances and the temporal-spatial dynamics of global thunderstorm activity

Published in:
11th Int. Conf. on Atmospheric Electricity, 7-11 June 1999, pp. 698-700.

Summary

A two-dimensional computational ELF technique has been applied to interpret variations of peak frequencies of Schumann resosnances (SR) observed at the MIT experimental site (West Greenwich, Rhode Island). The spatial-temporal dynamics of global thunderstorm activity has been simulated on the basis of general meteorological data. It is shown that the proposed models provide a reasonable qualitative agreement between computed and observed variations for SR I to IV. Some inverse task diagrams has been constructed as an instrument for distinguishing between day-to-day thunderstorm scenarios.

The relationship between the background and transient signals in Schumann resonances

Published in:
Proc. 11th Int. Conf. on Atmospheric Electricity, 7-11 June 1999, pp. 758-761.

Summary

Two distinct measures of the Earth's Schumann resonances -- the background and the transients -- are studied through comparisons at the mesoscale and at the continental scale. A rough proportionality is shown between the far more abundant afternoon lightning activity and the larger positive mesoscale discharges that make sprites and simultaneously ring the Earth- ionosphere cavity to levels higher than the integration of all other lightnings.
