Abstract
The MEM Project (Interreg IIIA Adriatic Cross Border Programme) has been activated in the INGV Observatory of L’Aquila since 2004. The principal purpose of this project is the development in Central Italy of an observatories network for continuous monitoring the electromagnetic signals in ULF-ELF-VLF (0.001 Hz-100 KHz) bands .The leader partner of the project is the Abruzzo Region; the others partners are the INGV (italian Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia) Observatory of L’Aquila, the Regional Environmental Agency of Molise (ARPA-Molise), the Ferrara University, the Tirana University and the Geomagnetic Institute of Grocka, Beograd. The innovative characteristic of the project can be single out in the approach chosen to study the complex problem to representing spatial and temporal distributions of the electromagnetic fields in the band of interest. Both the distributions has been represented by some parameters containing the location and the characteristics of the electromagnetic background sources of noise, both natural and artificial. The employed technique is the wide band interferometry. Combining the simultaneous observations of the electromagnetic field obtained in the different network stations, we are able to obtain detailed information about the investigated electromagnetic sources in the Earth-ionosphere cavity.
