Long Term study of the Schumann Resonance Regular Variations Using the
Sierra Nevada station ground-based magnetometers
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.
