Abstract
The spatial coherence of the first two Schumann resonant modes has been studied at two locations in the polar cap separated by 1100 km. Measurements were made at Assistance Bay and Mould Bay, which have geomagnetic latitudes of 83° and 79°, respectively, and satellite time-keeping was employed to accurately synchronise the field stations. The coherence was found to be high, typically 95% for the first Schumann mode, and was unaffected by changes in K p , a storm sudden commencement or a solar flare event. Polarization rotations were observed between the two stations, which could most likely be attributed to the coastline effect. The results are consistent with a stable propagation of Schumann activity from mid to high latitudes that is relatively unaffected by changes in the polar cap ionosphere.
