CORRELATION ANALYSIS BETWEEN SCHUMANN RESONANCE FREQUENCIES AND Dst, Kp

Abstract

In this study, the relationship between Schumann resonance frequencies (SRF) and the Geomagnetic indices (Dst, kp) was statically inquired. The relationship between the data of Schuman resonance frequencies for the first five months of 2016 and the values of hourly average of Dst and three-hour average of Kp was determined by applying the correlation analysis separately. The highest correlation coefficients are found -12.4% for SRF-Dst at 35 Hz, -11.6% for SRF-Kp*10 at 7 Hz.
