Abstract
The Schumann resonances (SR) are global electromagnetic resonances excited within the Earth-ionosphere waveguide, primarily by lightning discharges. These resonances occur in the extremely low frequency (ELF) range, with resonant frequencies around 8, 14, 20, 26,. .. Hz. This Chapter is dedicated to the theory, phenomenology, and measurements of Schumann resonances.
