Farrell, W.M., Desch, M.D. and Houser, J.G. (1998). Modification of the upper atmosphere over power lines: A geological effect. Journal of Geophysical Research 103: doi: 10.1029/97JA03725. issn: 0148-0227.

Under certain circumstances, ELF radiation from power lines is able to very mildly heat the electrons in the upper atmosphere via ELF wave/electron interaction. The electron temperature increase for O-mode heating is <1%. However, the significance of the heating is a function of the line construction and also the character of the underlying ground resistivity with the greatest heating effect occurring over a resistive earth. ¿ 1998 American Geophysical Union
