Abstract

A systematic study of Schumann resonance parameters during high-energy particle precipitation events is presented. Protons and electrons with energies above 1 MeV ionize the upper boundary of the Earth-ionosphere cavity, leading to an increase of the resonance frequency and a decrease of the damping of the first Schumann resonance, as derived from measurements at Arrival Heights, Antarctica. The study uses the nine strongest solar proton events of the past salar cycle 22 and high-energy electrons emitted periodically from corotating interaction regions in the solar wind during 1994-1995. The variation of the Schumann resonance parameters is in qualitative agreement with current theories of Schumann resonances. The study also shows that high-energy particle precipitation is not the only relevant source affecting Schumann resonance parameters. The reported findings constitute a so far little-explored aspect of solar terrestrial relations.

Abstract The contingency of variations in amplitude—frequency parameters of the main modes of extremely-low-frequency resonances of an ionospheric waveguide (Schumann resonances) and changes in human encephalograms in the frequency range of 6–16 Hz has been studied. The results obtained with the use of synchronized monitoring suggest that such contingency, expressed as indices of cross-correlation function, is statistically significant, varying from 0.12 to 0.65 at α = 0.95. It has been established that contingency is largely determined by the current level of solar and geomagnetic activity.

Hmm sounds like some one needs to study some more-I know the human entrains to Schumanns...

ABSTRACT

The object of this work is the measurement of lightning activity on a global scale through its excitation of the electromagnetic resonances of the global electrical circuit. Local measurements in the tropics have shown that lightning activity is sensitively dependent on the wet bulb temperature of boundary layer air. The PIs propose to make detailed comparisons between Schumann resonance amplitudes and the real distributions of wet bulb temperature and deep tropical convection. Feedback effects of the deep convection in the temperature distributions and subsequent global lightning will be examined. A new station in Peru will complement two existing ones in California and Western Australia. Comparisons will be made with independent measurements of the ionospheric potential and observations of ionization of the ionosphere. The project will include investigation of possible ELF electromagnetic signatures of upward propagating cloud-ionosphere discharges originating in Amazonian thunderstorms. The practical importance of this research lies in its potential for developing a sensitive index of global change from easily obtainable ground- based measurements of Schumann resonances.



Seems like "The object of this work is the measurement of lightning activity on a global scale through its excitation of the electromagnetic resonances of the global electrical circuit...." could potentially cause a breakdown in the ionosphere or the affect the elctromagnetic resonance which is tied in with electrical and magnetic fields of the earth-so how could little ole me get such an idea that it is changing...maybe by the FACTS?
