Natural Radio Lab

Natural Radio is the VLF radio emissions that originate terrestrially from lightning and within the earth's magnetosphere through interaction with the Sun. Most of these radio signals, sferics, tweeks, whistlers, chorus and others, occur within the range of human hearing, and can be heard with simple receivers as described on this site.

Natural Radio Lab also looks at Space Weather and Geomagnetic Storms. These are affected by solar activity such as the solar wind, sunspots, solar flares and coronal mass ejections or CMEs. In the popular media, these events are often loosely referred to as "solar storms" or "sun storms".

Please explore this site. I hope you go beyond reading what's here and actually go out and take the opportunity to hear whistlers or the enchanting sounds of the dawn chorus.

What is “Space Weather”?

naturalradiolab.com Posted on January 21, 2012 by Mark KarneyOctober 21, 2012

It has been realized and appreciated only in the last few decades that solar flares, CMEs, and magnetic storms affect people and their activities. The list of consequences grows in proportion to our dependence on technological systems. The subtleties of the interactions between Sun and Earth, and between solar particles and delicate instruments, have become factors that affect our well being. Thus there will be continued and intensified need for space environment services to address health, safety, and commercial needs.
