International Schumann Resonance and ELF Project

这个项目是为了研究 自然发生的电磁辐射特性 在3-120 Hz的极低频（ELF）带中。 的 重点是地球上的共振波 电离层空腔，俗称舒曼共振。 这些 共振主要由闪电激发。 全球网络 计划在美国进行观测，中澳 巴西 本文介绍了在不同地点对极低频波的观测。 地球需要持续监测闪电活动。 这项研究还将提供数据库，以推断电气 大气层D区的电导率。 为了使 比较研究可靠，全球网络的所有台站 将使用相同的设备。 该仪器采用创新的 为实时数据创建“智能”系统的技术 采集 这是为数不多的项目之一， 中层大气研究的全球方面。

This project is for the study of the temporal and spatial characteristics of naturally occurring electromagnetic emissions in the extremely low frequency (ELF) band of 3-120 Hz. The emphasis is on the waves which are resonances in the earth- ionosphere cavity, popularly known as Schumann resonances. These resonances are primarily excited by lightning. A global network is planned to make observations in the U.S., China, Australia and Brazil. The observations of ELF waves at various locations on the earth are needed to continuously monitor lightning activity. The study will also provide databases to infer electrical conductivity in the D-region of the atmosphere. In order to make comparative study reliable, all stations of the global network will use the same equipment. The instrument uses innovative technology to create "smart" systems for real-time data acquisition. This is one of the very few projects that has global aspects in middle atmospheric research.
