Hayakawa // International Journal of Electronics and Applied Research (IJEAR). – 2017. – Vol. 4, Issue 1, July. – P. 37–51.2395-0064http://eadnurt.diit.edu.ua/jspui/handle/123456789/10620Т. Serdiuk: ORCID 0000-0002-2609-4071ENG: A new real-time technique is proposed for automatc identification of tweek atmospherics, distance finding to lightning and estimating the effective heights of the lower ionosphere for the fundamental and higher order modes of the Earth-ionosphere waveguide. Effectiveness of the technique is demonstrated with the experimental records of atmospherics. Application of a clustering algorithm allowed us to reveal different patterns of variations of the lower ionosphere effective height along different propagations paths. The distance finding accuracy of our tweek method had been roughly estimated by a comparison with independent data from the Blitzortung.org lightning location network to be less than 100 km with standard deviation less than 200 km in the range of distances from 500 to 1400 km.enlightning locationlower ionosphereELF-VLF radio wavestweek-atmosphericsEarth- ionosphere waveguideКАТЗArticle
