Abstract :
Here, we present preliminary results obtained from a station that monitors the Schumann resonance between ~0 Hz and 50 Hz. The station is currently under development in Mexico (latitude 19° 48\´ 19" N, longitude 101° 41\´ 39" W). This station is the first of its kind in the region that includes Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America. The station has two inductive antennas, one for each horizontal magnetic field component. We measured Schumann Resonance harmonics at 7.74, 14.11 and 20.22 Hz. We present the frequency and amplitude behavior of the first three Schumann Resonance harmonics between 00:00 and 08:00 LT along several days during April, 2012.
