Numerical Simulation of European VLF Network Response to X-Class Solar Flare in September 2017

We present the experimental evidence for European VLF network data on the response of the lower ionosphere and frequency-dependent VLF data under the consequent X-class solar flares 06 September and 10 September 2017. The stations under analysis include European AWESOM monitors, which are distributed over all Europe. Data from geophysical observatory “Mikhnevo” (MKH) of the Institute of Geosphere Dynamics (54.57N, 37.46E) covers frequency range from 1Hz to 100 kHz, thus allowing the monitoring of all VLF/LF transmitters as well as Schumann resonance. The monitoring is evaluated both in magnetic field channel by METRONIX MFS07 magnetometer (3 components) and in electric field channel by Rhode&Schwarz ESCI receiver (vertical electric field).
