The modern era: digital networks and global monitoring

Since the turn of the millennium, research on the Schumann resonance has moved into the modern era of digital observatories and interconnected monitoring networks.

Since the turn of the millennium, research on the Schumann resonance has moved into the modern era of digital observatories and interconnected monitoring networks. Continuous measurements are carried out at a number of stations around the world — among the best known are Tomsk (Russia), Nagycenk (Hungary), Moshiri (Japan), Hylaty (Poland), as well as the GCMS network of observatories operated by the HeartMath Institute and measurements at the Ukrainian Antarctic station. The observations are complemented by satellite data, for example from the Chinese CSES satellite (China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite).

The network of distributed digital observatories makes it possible to monitor the Schumann resonance continuously and on a global scale, to compare records from different locations and to link them with worldwide lightning activity and with the influences of space weather. An overview of the methods and findings of this era is given in the monograph by Nickolaenko and Hayakawa from 2014. Nickolaenko Hayakawa 2014
