Abstract
We apply a technique separating the universal- and local-time variations in the integrated Schumann-resonance (SR) intensity to the Schumann-resonance data obtained at three observatories, Moshiri (44.365°N, 142.24°E), Lehta (64.427°N, 33.974°E), and West Greenwich (41.6°N, 71.6°W). Feasibility of this technique for joint data of three observatories was proved by model calculations. It is shown that universal-time variations describe intensity variations in the global thunderstorms.
