METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MONITORING THunderstorm ACTIVITY ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH IN REAL TIME

摘要

1. A method for monitoring thunderstorm activity on the Earth’s surface in real time by analyzing electromagnetic signals induced by spark electric discharges in the atmosphere in storm outbreaks, characterized in that the ELF electromagnetic field signals generated in the Earth-ionosphere resonator are recorded and subjected to spectral analysis for based on the propagation models of ELF field resonances in the Earth-ionosphere resonator, in which the characteristics depending on the distance and intensity of spark electric discharges are times elyayut and compared with base parameters contained in the database data model parameters, wherein for mapping the location and intensity of electrical spark discharges are used base parameters selected as the best approximation to the characteristics depending on the distance and intensity of electrical spark discharges. ! 2. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the characteristics depending on the distance and intensity of spark electric discharges are observation parameters (pk, fk, γk and ek), which are compared with the basic parameters (p0k, f0k, γ0k and e0k ) stored in the database of model parameters that recreate the location and intensity of spark electric discharges and form the basis for compiling maps of lightning sources (M (x, y).! 3. The method according to one of claims 1 and 2, characterized in that ELF signals induced by spark electric ktricheskimi discharges recorded in the Earth's field, free from local sources of electrical fields, by two magnetic induction antennas (Hx, Ny) disposed horizontally
