Evolution of the Ionospheric Plasma Turbulence over the Seismic and Thunderstorm Areas

Abstract

Abstract:The authors report the observation of Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) plasma turbulence registered by DEMETER satellite in the ionosphere over the seismic and thunderstorm areas. The detail analysis of the electric field fluctuations for the selected strong earthquakes and thunderstorm is presented. Special attention is given to study of the characteristics of the spectra of these variations and searches of the nonlinear effects. This analysis is possible in the time interval when the waveform has been transmitted. Some attempt of this discussion is given in the paper.

SuperDARN Radars – Introduction

“…The last part of our studies covers the search for correlations between data from the DEMETER satellite, to the data from Hylaty station. The satellite has the ability to measure VLF (Very Low Frequencies) and ELF signals, which give us a possibility of looking for the relationship between the measurements on the orbit (Parrot et al 2008(Parrot et al , 2013Błęcki et al 2016), and ground-based measurements, and thus differences and changes in the ionosphere and magnetosphere due to thunderstorm activity (Berthelier et al 2006). The highest activity of MCS is during evenings, which coincides with the DEMETER flybys over Europe.…”
