Study of electromagnetic emissions recorded by the DEMETER satellite
Píša, David
David PÍŠA Study of electromagnetic emissions recorded by the DEMETER satellite Abstract : This thesis presents results based on wave measurements performed by the DEMETER space- craft. This French spacecraft was operating between 2004 and 2010 at the altitude of ∼660 km. We focus on measurements of the electromagnetic waves and plasma density in the vicinity of imminent earthquakes. In the first part, we present a study of plasma density variations in the vicinity of a very powerful earthquake in Chile (Mw 8.8) which occurred on February 27, 2010. Data recorded before the main shock along orbits close to the future epicenter showed increasing plasma den- sities. A statistical analysis using 4 years of data to monitor density variations under similar conditions has been performed. This study shows that a large increase of the plasma density is very uncommon at this location. In the second part, a statistical study (∼6.5 years) of variations of VLF wave intensity is shown. We have analyzed all available data measured close (in time and space) to large earth- quakes (M≥5). Data related to more than 12000 earthquakes have been compared with an unperturbed background distribution. We confirm the previously reported results of a statis- tically significant decrease of the wave intensity at frequencies of about...

Propagation of very low frequency radio waves in the Earth-ionosphere waveguide
Guth Jarkovský, Jiří ; Santolík, Ondřej (advisor) ; Píša, David (referee)
Lightning strokes emit strong electromagnetic (EM) radiation, mostly in the very low frequency band (VLF) 3-30 kHz. This radiation propagates in the Earth-ionosphere wa- veguide across distances of thousands of kilometres. Using measurements of several com- ponents of the EM feld, it is possible to determine the direction of arrival of an EM wave. The main result of this thesis is an algorithm for this analysis and its application to data measured by a station located in southern France. The algorithm was used to determine the direction of arrival of signal from several lightning strokes with known locations as well as from emitters used for submarine communication, as those also emit waves in the VLF band and thus are also suitable for application of the algorithm. 1
