Propagation characteristics of VLF waves and atmospherics have been made clear for ELF and VLF ranges, e. g. the attenuation was found almost the same for frequency range 4-10 kc and about 7 to 9 db/1,000 km at 6 kc and decreases to about 1 to 3 db/1,000 km on frequencies higher than 10 kc for atmospherics and these values are fairly well coincident with those obtained for radio waves. The intensity and phase characteristics of VLF waves and atmospherics have been investigated at normal and abnormal propagation conditions such as solar flares, geomagnetic storms, nuclear explosions, etc.}, pages = {13--18}, title = {LIGHTNING FLASHES AND ATMOSPHERICS}, volume = {11}, year = {1964} }
