Schumann Resonances in Lightning Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
Schumann resonances (SR) are global electromagnetic resonances excited primarily by lightning discharges. This review is aimed at the reader generally unfamiliar with Schumann resonances. Our goal is to give some historical context to SR research, and to show the extensive use of Schumann resonances in a variety of lightning-related studies in recent years, ranging from estimates of the spatial and temporal variations in global lighting activity, connections to global climate change, transient luminous events and extraterrestrial lightning. We present both theoretical and experimental results of the global resonance phenomenon. It is our hope that this review will increase the interest in Schumann resonances among lightning researchers previously unfamiliar with Schumann resonance studies.

ELF Electromagnetic Waves from Lightning: The Schumann Resonances
Lightning produces electromagnetic fields and waves in all frequency ranges. In the extremely low frequency (ELF) range below 100 Hz, the global Schumann Resonances (SR) are excited at frequencies of 8 Hz, 14 Hz, 20 Hz, etc. This review is aimed at the reader generally unfamiliar with the Schumann Resonances. First some historical context to SR research is given, followed by some theoretical ba...
متن کاملThree-dimensional finite difference time domain modeling of the Schumann resonance parameters on Titan, Venus, and Mars
[1] The conducting ionosphere and conducting surface of Titan, Venus, and Mars form a concentric resonator, which would support the possibility of the existence of global electromagnetic resonances. On Earth, such resonances are commonly referred to as Schumann resonances and are excited by lightning discharges. The detection of such resonances on other planets would give a support for the exis...
متن کاملThree-dimensional finite difference time domain modeling of the diurnal and seasonal variations in Schumann resonance parameters
[1] The diurnal and seasonal variations of Schumann resonances (SR) have been reported in a number of experiments. In this paper, a three-dimensional FDTD model of the Earth-ionosphere cavity with a day-night asymmetric conductivity profile is employed to study the diurnal and seasonal variability of the power and frequency of the first Schumann resonance (SR) mode. Comparison of the FDTD resul...
متن کاملFDTD analysis of Schumann resonances for realistic subionospheric waveguide models
The space formed by the ground and ionosphere is known to act as a resonator for extremely low frequency (ELF) waves. Lightning discharges trigger this global resonance, which is known as Schumann resonances at the frequencies of 8, 14, 20Hz etc. Even though the inhomogeneity (like day-night asymmetry, local perturbation etc.) is important for such subionospheric ELF propagation, the previous a...
متن کاملPower variations of Schumann resonances related to El Niño and La Niña phenomena
[1] A three dimensional Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD)model of the Earth-ionosphere cavitywith the realistic conductivity profile is employed to study the intensity variations of Schumann resonances (SR) associated with the El Niño and La Niña phenomena. Comparison of the results derived from our FDTD model and the previous studies by other authors on related subjects shows that the inten...
