Correlation between airtemperature and thunderstorm activity in Africa according to the ELF measurements in Antarctica, Arctica and Ukraine
Purpose : Search for the connection of seasonal variations in characteristics of the Earth-ionosphere global resonator with air temperature in Africa. Comparison of results obtained in Arctica, Antarctica and in the midlatitudes of the Northern Hemisphere with the surface temperature of African cont...
