Short
description of the project
The project plans to monitor and
analyze atmospheric aerosols, ions, clouds and solar radiation in
relationship
with environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, atmospheric
pressure,
wind speed and direction, variations of the telluric currents,
variations of
the local magnetic field and infrasound, variations of the atmospheric
electrostatic field, variations in the earth crust with inclinometers,
electromagnetic and seismic activity, animal behavior). Many examples
indicate
a relationship between earthquakes and aerosols density or clouds
formations and sky color. Solar radiation
and earthquakes means
energy that affects the telluric currents, the radio waves propagation and generally
the ionosphere.
The EarthCare
(ESA’s cloud, aerosol and radiation mission) will complete the data
obtained by
ground monitoring system from the project. Atmospheric
layers behave like “lenses” with variable properties because they
depend on
atmospheric phenomena, solar and earth radiation. Air ionization and
solar radiation monitoring, in correlation with global
and
local environmental factors (including seismic zones), is a
new
approach for atmospheric study in our area.
