  2. Schumann resonances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances

    The global electromagnetic resonance phenomenon is named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann who predicted it mathematically in 1952. Schumann resonances are the principal background in the part of the electromagnetic spectrum [2] from 3 Hz through 60 Hz [3] and appear as distinct peaks at extremely low frequencies around 7.83 Hz (fundamental), 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz.

    The leader of the support group in Tannahill’s story, a man called Omar, links the Hum to the Schumann resonances, “a real-life geoscience phenomenon in which the Earth is hit by 8 million ...

  4. Earth–ionosphere waveguide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth–ionosphere_waveguide

    For the real Earth's surface, the ground wave becomes dissipated and depends on the orography along the ray path. [5] For VLF waves at shorter distances, this effect is, however, of minor importance, and the reflection factor of the Earth is R e = 1 {\displaystyle R_{e}=1} , in a first approximation.

  5. Extremely low frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_low_frequency

    The fundamental Schumann resonance is at approximately 7.83 Hz, the frequency at which the wavelength equals the circumference of the Earth, and higher harmonics occur at 14.1, 20.3, 26.4, and 32.4 Hz, etc. Lightning strikes excite these resonances, causing the Earth–ionosphere cavity to "ring" like a bell, resulting in a peak in the noise ...

  7. Atmospheric electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_electricity

    The Schumann resonances are a set of spectrum peaks in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the Earth's electromagnetic field spectrum. Schumann resonance is due to the space between the surface of the Earth and the conductive ionosphere acting as a waveguide. The limited dimensions of the earth cause this waveguide to act as a resonant ...

  8. Microseism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microseism

    For wave trains with a very small difference in frequency (and thus wavenumbers), this pattern of wave groups may have the same velocity as seismic waves, between 1500 and 3000 m/s, and will excite acoustic-seismic modes that radiate away. Wave groups generated by waves with opposing directions. The blue curve is the sum of the red and black.

  9. Ionosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosphere

    Relationship of the atmosphere and ionosphere. The ionosphere (/ aɪ ˈ ɒ n ə ˌ s f ɪər /) [1] [2] is the ionized part of the upper atmosphere of Earth, from about 48 km (30 mi) to 965 km (600 mi) above sea level, [3] a region that includes the thermosphere and parts of the mesosphere and exosphere.
