Schmitter}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Monitoring lightning electromagnetic pulses (sferics) and other terrestrial as well as extraterrestrial transient radiation signals is of considerable interest for practical and theoretical purposes in astro- and geophysics as well as meteorology. Managing a continuous flow of data, automation of the analysis and classification process is important. Features based on a combination of wavelet and statistical methods proved efficient for this task and serve as input into a radial basis function network that is trained to discriminate transient shapes from pulse like to wave like. We concentrate on signals in the Very Low Frequency (VLF, 3 -30 kHz) range in this paper, but the developed methods are independent of this specific choice. }, journal = {International Journal of Geological and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {6}, year = {2007}, pages = {68 - 68}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/2129}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/6}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 6, 2007}, }
