Abstract

We present a study of the Schumann Resonance (SR) regular variations (March 2013-February 2017) using the ground-based magnetometers from the Sierra Nevada station, Spain (37◦02’N, 3◦19’W). The study is based on the fitting parameters obtained by the Lorentzian fit, calculated for each 10-min interval record, namely, peak amplitudes, central frequencies, width of the resonances and the power spectrum integral for the first 3 SR modes. We consider three time-scales in the study: seasonal, monthly and daily variations. The processed data collected by the Sierra Nevada station are also made public with this work. The general characteristics of the long-term evolution of the Schumann resonance are confirmed, but discrepancies appear that require further study comparing recent measurements from different stations. Signatures of the influences of the El Niño phenomenon and the solar cycle to SR have been found.
