Abstract:
Schumann resonances (SRs) provide a unique tool for exploring continuous and long-term monitoring of global environmental parameters, although their detection and study is a very complex task. This paper presents diurnal and seasonal variations of principal parameters, namely the resonance frequency, the Q-factor, and the power of SRs, in the North-South (NS) magnetic field component for the first five modes from Extra Low Frequency (ELF) measurements. These were acquired at the observation site located at Doliana, Kalpaki, in the Region of Epirus, North West Greece. These variations are the first ones reported for the principal parameters in the South Eastern Mediterranean area and correspond to the one-year measurement period from 2016 to 2017. The comparison with variations at several observations sites is also discussed. Moreover, correlation with global lighting centers, as well as local lightning activity, and SRs parameters variation is attempted.
