A search for coincident intersite environmental bursts

· Searched for threshold-exceeding events that occur at both Hanford and Livingston within a time window (about 30ms).

· Demanded that there be within-site as well as between-site coincidences in order to lower thresholds and maintain managable numbers of events.

· Modified Masahiro Ito's glitchMon to input multiple channels and output time series for events that met the threshold and coincidence criteria.

Mere coincidence?
If the coil magnetometer coincidences were by chance, widening the coincidence window by a factor of 10 should increase the number of events by a factor of 10 (low event rate approximation). Time window of 25 bins gives 83 five sigma events in 10 hours. Time window of 250 bins gives 295 events instead of about 830. Better than 99% confidence that excess coincidences occur in the narrow time window.

BUT this result is only a couple of days old and programs need to be checked and supporting evidence accumulated.

So I am not yet completely convinced that we are detecting certain lightning strikes at both sites.

Summary

· Stand alone code to search for intersite coincidences has been developed.

· No convincing examples of power line glitches that propagated between sites were found.

· No evidence yet of lightning strikes on other channels

· Fairly convincing evidence of greater than chance coincidences in magnetometer signals that could be lightning.

· Continue developing code to check for coincidences in signals that are offset in time from eachother.

· Upper thresholds as well as lower thresholds (windows)?
