Anthropogenic noise in observations of natural electromagnetic field
- Institute of Cosmophysical Researches and Radio Wave Propagation FEB RAS, Russia
Observations of geophysical electromagnetic fields always contain noise,
besides the meaningful data; this noise mainly has anthropogenic origin.
Sometimes this noise is an insuperable obstacle for further processing.
Thus, noise analysis is a necessary part of experimental data correct
processing and interpretation.
The paper analyzes anthropogenic noise in the registration of the Earth
natural electromagnetic field. It was discovered that this noise has
coherent and incoherent components. A model for noise was developed and an
algorithm and its software realization to eliminate the most significant
noise components with the longest coherence time were proposed. Tests of
the algorithm on real data showed quite good efficiency.
