Measurements of Electromagnetic Signals Generated by Lightning and Atmospheric Discharges Associated with Transient Luminous Events

Abstract

This paper focuses on the measurement techniques of extremely low frequency EM waves generated by lightning. Basic types of lightning and transient luminous events along with the definition and properties of Schumann resonance are presented.

We also show the description of our measurement site in Nov'y Kostel, which uses one horizontal magnetic antenna.
