This package is a VLF receiver for monitoring VLF transmitter signals for evidence of transients indicating ionospheric disturbances, usually caused by x-ray bursts from the sun. It takes sample pairs from dual-channel sound cards and spectrally processes them to Stokes parameters. Data are plotted as time series and in scatter plots.

Features

  • Acquires two polarizations from loop antennas via a sound card, recording Stokes parameters.
  • Time plots of Stokes parameters, x/y polarization amplitudes, polarization ellipse, GOES x-ray flux.
  • Scatter plots of multiple pairs of parameters, color coded by pair and time segment.
