Worldwide Simultaneity of Occurrence of a Q-type ELF Burst in the Schumann Resonance Frequency Range

“…As described above, ELF flashes and N-type ELF bursts originate rather near to the observation sites, and would not simultaneously be of served at both stations. Galejs (1965) quoted two horizontal magnetic field components observed simultaneously in Canada and in Antarctica (Lokken, 1964, private communication) and showed the existence of a good correlation between occurrences of the high intensity ELF noise bursts observed at three sites.…”

A human source for ELF magnetic perturbations

“…In general, human beings experience a variety of physiological and medical effects that can be traced to both geophysical and electric power sources. Among these varied geophysical sources one finds Schumann resonances (Fullerkrug, 2005;Galejs, 1965), diurnal geomagnetic rhythms (Chapman, 1918;Liboff, 2014a), Pc1 magnetospheric oscillations (pearls) (Guglielmi and Kangas, 2007;Roldugin et al, 2013;Rusov et al, 2012) and, most notably, solar storm activity (Liboff, 2014b). The daily swing in the geomagnetic intensity is approximately 20-50 nT (Liboff, 2014a), but deviations can be up to ten times greater during periods of increased solar activity.…”

Schumann resonances excitation due to positive and negative cloud‐to‐ground lightning

“…Considering that there are perhaps 2000 thunderstorms in progress around the world at any time, the lightning discharges in a thunderstorm region are assumed to be treated as random events described by a sequence of randomly occurring pulses of random amplitudes [Raemer, 1961a[Raemer, , 1961bGalejs, 1965;Polk, 1969;Nickolaenko, 1981;Surkov et al, 2005Surkov et al, , 2006.…”
