Discrete events

1) burst

Time-series of the local magnetic east-west component D at Silberborn (52 N, 10 E), Germany, in the frequency band of 4-16 Hz. Superimposed on a weak natural noise background an exponentially decaying sinusoidal with a frequency of 8 Hz and 14 Hz can be observed, denoted Earth-ionosphere cavity resonances. Although the source of excitation of this event is not known, other discrete events occur simultanesously with sprite associated lightning activity.
