Abstract 9616251 Fraser-Smith This project operates an extremely low frequency and very low frequency (ELF/VLF) radiometer at McMurdo, Antarctica to monitor radio noise from natural sources such as thunderstorms. It is one of a network of eight such radiometers which is operated by Stanford University for the Office of Naval Research. It is important for operational purposes to characterize the possible sources of radio interference. Additionally, the variations in global noise, reflects variations in global thunderstorm activity and can therefore provide information on global climate change. The site where the radiometer is located in Antarctica was chosen about 15 years ago because it is unusually free from man-made electromagnet interference. The ELF/VLF record now extends unbroken for more than 10 years. ***

摘要9616251 Fraser-Smith本项目在南极洲的麦克默多运行一台极低频和甚低频（ELF/VLF）辐射计，以监测雷暴等自然源的无线电噪声。 它是由斯坦福大学为海军研究办公室操作的八个此类辐射计网络之一。 为了业务目的，必须确定无线电干扰的可能来源。 此外，全球噪声的变化反映了全球雷暴活动的变化，因此可以提供全球气候变化的信息。 辐射计位于南极洲的地点是大约15年前选择的，因为它不受人为电磁干扰的影响。 ELF/VLF的记录现在已经持续了10多年。 ***
