TLDR
In this article, a simplified two-exponential version of the Greifinger-Greifinger (1978) technique was used to identify two slopes in the conductivity profile and, providing accurate results in the ELF communication band (45 − 75 Hz ), simulates too flat a frequency dependence of the quality factor within the Schumann resonance frequency range (5 − 40 Hz ).About:

Anomalous effect in Schumann resonance phenomena observed in Japan, possibly associated with the Chi-chi earthquake in Taiwan
TL;DR: In this article, an anomalous effect in the Schumann resonance has been found, possibly associated with two large land earthquakes (one is the Chi-chi earthquake and another one on 2 November 1999 (Chia-yi earthquake) with a magnitude again greater than 6.0).

Three-dimensional finite difference time domain modeling of the Earth-ionosphere cavity resonances
Heng Yang,Victor P. Pasko +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare results from a 3D finite difference time domain (FDTD) model of Schumann resonances with a set of classical eigenfrequency and quality factor solutions for laterally uniform spherically symmetric Earth-ionosphere cavity and recent SR observations during solar proton events (SPEs) and X-ray bursts.

Electromagnetic Waves in Stratified Media
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide the theoretical basis for a variety of applications of electromagnetic (radio) waves to communications, navigation, and remote sensing, and this book is based on fundamental research in electromagnetic wave propagation that James R. Wait performed in the Central Radio Propagation Laboratory (CRPL) of NBS from 1956 to 1962.

Handbook of atmospheric electrodynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the rate of atmospheric NO production and its effect on telecommunication system performance are discussed. But the authors do not consider the effect of atmospheric noise on the performance of telecommunication systems.

Über die strahlungslosen Eigenschwingungen einer leitenden Kugel, die von einer Luftschicht und einer Ionosphärenhülle umgeben ist
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a tiefest Eigenfrequenz with ω = 0 bis ω 0, where ω is a homogene plasmaschicht, and ω > ω0 is a plasmosphamide.

TL;DR: The Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) is a NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) instrument on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) platform designed to acquire and investigate the distribution and variability of total lightning (i.e., cloud-to-ground and intracloud) between q35' in latitude.

TL;DR: Theoretical predictions for dielectric breakdown in the mesosphere were tested using ELF methods to evaluate vertical charge moments of positive ground flashes as discussed by the authors, and the measured charge moments were sufficient to account for electron runaway breakdown, and the long avalanche length in this mechanism also accounts for the exclusive association of sprites with ground flashes of positive polarity.
