Studying the temporal variations of atmosphere physical properties at different spatial and temporal scales by VLF radio signals and space geodesy techniques

Abstract

In this work we study the physical variations of atmosphere at different spatial and temporal scales. The temporal evolution of the amplitude of Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio signals is used as a means to characterize the seasonal variations of atmosphere. The microwave-based GNSS and Synthetic Aperture radar (SAR) interferometry techniques are used as a means to characterize anomalies in the physical properties of atmosphere due to solar X-ray flares.
