sidmon is a python program for receiving and recording submarine-transmitter signal intensities and directions in the VLF frequency range using a computer sound card. The intensities of these signals reflect the ability of radio waves at those wavelengths to propagate in what is essentially a waveguide formed by the earth and the ionosphere above it. Fluctuations in those signal intensities and directions often reflect daytime perturbations of the ionosphere by solar processes, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, making VLF receivers useful tools for probing the sun and the earth's ionosphere. ...
