      Multidisciplinary complex system for  monitoring clouds, aerosols and solar  radiation in correlation with Vrancea seismic activity

Project manager: Victorin-Emilian TOADER, asyst@asystech.ro

       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.
