  Telluric current - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These tellurics are extremely low frequency electrical current that occurs naturally over large underground areas at or near the surface of the Earth.
Telluric currents are phenomena observed in the Earth's crust and mantle.
Both the telluric and magnetotelluric methods are used for exploring the structure beneath the Earth's surface (such as in industrial prospecting).

In the bottom window of the panel is the estimate of the telluric spectrum (in white) and a typical atmospheric absorption spectrum (in yellow).
The typical telluric spectrum shown in yellow should give the user an idea of where the true atmospheric features are and what their approximate relative strengths should be after removal of the stellar H lines.
It is possible that there are slight wavelength shifts between the A0 V star used to construct the telluric spectrum and the the object to be corrected.

 Maitreya - Telluric waves - Groove Unlimited
Maitreya's Telluric Waves is a memorable experience that would assuredly appeal to both ambient purists and fans of newer electronic styles equally.
Telluric Waves is a finely detailed and impressively executed work of modern chilled textures; trippy, entrancing, and consistently interesting.
At first I thought that "telluric" was a made-up word for the album; however, curiosity prompted me to check only to discover that it is actually a word and pertains to the Earth.

 Help text on flux
The counts are left the same while the flux is adjusted to give the same flux as the tabulated data, with the flux/counts ratio obtained by spline interpolation of the individual points.
Telluric absorption lines: With this spectrum one can then flux calibrate spectra with FCAL which applies extinction corrections at the same time.
If the telluric absorption was linear, WEX would equal 1, but normally the lines are saturated and WEX=0.6 is closer to the mark.

 ISAAC
Unfortunately, some of the telluric lines do not scale linearly with airmass, so it is necessary to observe a star, which we will call a telluric standard, at the same airmass and with the same instrument setup as those of the science target.
A high resolution (R=40,000) spectrum of the Earth's telluric features is provided as six indivdual spectra that cover the SZ (1.05 microns), J, H, K, L and M atmospheric windows.
The L and M band spectra were calibrated from the telluric features themselves and have an accuracy of a few 10ths of an Angstrom.

 Iterative Correction of Spectra: TELLURIC and SKYTWEAK
Two examples of this are dividing an object spectrum by the spectrum of a "featureless" star spectrum to remove telluric absorption lines and subtracting a blank field spectrum from an object spectrum to remove telluric emission lines.
The telluric task was run automatically, without manual intervention to adjust the shift or strength of the telluric lines.
The telluric Na D emission lines were also removed using the sky subtraction feature of dohydra, leaving spectra from which measurements can be made easily.

The tools that the two employed for Our Telluric Conversation are common to their respective catalogues of recordings, with Duncan bringing his shortwave, data streams, and uncanny use of the human voice while Hausswolff employed oscillators, sonar, and wire tapping microphones.
The final entry from their Conversation is the perfect marriage of the established Duncan and Hausswolff aesthetics, with a spare low-frequency hum deadening the sonic architecture before a static charge of crackled ether supplements the auditory smoldering.
The recording comes with a 40 page booklet with an interview between Duncan and Hausswolff about their histories, ideas, and methodologies; furthermore, the packaging is completed by a curiously tactile O-card, which has been embossed with braille and covered with a rubbery coating.

 Removing telluric lines
The aim is to remove the large number of telluric lines that appear in IR spectra.
First and foremost, the telluric standard and the object have to observed with the same instrument setup, with roughly the same airmass and, if possible, consecutively.
For the best results, one may have to modify the spectrum of the telluric standard so that the center and strength of the telluric lines match those of the object spectrum.

 USGS: Variations in Electrical Properties Induced by Stress Along the San Andreas Fault at Parkfield, California
Daily fluctuations of the telluric coefficients which relate Dipoles 1 through 6 to the reference dipoles of Dipoles 7 and 8 are plotted.
Changes in the telluric coefficients are directly related, albeit through the response of a complex, heterogeneous earth, to changes of resistivity.
The coherency between the measured signal and that predicted from the telluric coefficients is used as a measure of data quality.

 Wavelength Calibration
The telluric lines were identified with the help of the HITRAN database [Rothman et al.
The problem that arises when using photospheric lines together with the telluric airglow and absorption lines to wavelength calibrate, is the fact that they are effectively in a different reference frame.
The telluric lines are obviously stationary relative to the observer while the photospheric lines are formed in an object moving with a radial velocity relative to the observer.

 MAITREYA Telluric Waves
With Telluric Waves, Lomax takes his soundscapes to a more earthy level as he swaps deep space for oceanic splendours, with only muffled echoes of life occasionally crossing the field, most notably on We Are Linked, to establish some form of connection between Lomax’s cocooned world and reality.
The hypnotic Sinter, Half-light or Telluric Waves show the man constantly altering his soundcapes, feeding on highly processed found sounds to produce ever-changing structures, repeatedly avoiding the pitfalls of a difficult genre.
Telluric Waves requires undivided attention to fully appreciate its many layers and constant shifts, and therefore is in many ways a difficult record.

The are many known atmospheric absorption features (or telluric absorption lines) in the wavelength range accessible to HIRES.
Telluric lines will vary in wavelength relative to the object spectrum due to the motion of the earth (see Heliocentric Velocity Correction).
Note that due to the heliocentric effect, it is possible that at some times of the year your favorite object narrow absorption line may fall within a telluric feature, and at other times of the year it may fall between features.

The PI must provide telluric standards that can be taken before or after their science observation (for short observations it can be the same telluric).
Be sure to select a telluric of the appropriate spectral type and with an airmass close to your target BEFORE or AFTER the target is observed.
Baseline cals (including tellurics) DO NOT need to be repeated for every science target-- they will be copied to the baseline calibration program for the night, however they must be at least 1 for each instrument configuration.

 Reliable elimination of telluric lines from stellar spectra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
We demonstrate that the powerful disentangling technique used to separate the individual spectra of binary components and telluric lines can also be used to remove telluric lines from the spectrum of a single star by treating the telluric spectrum as a second star.
We demonstrate that the method works well and is invaluable especially for the spectra of red stars which are heavily blended with the telluric lines.
The disadvantage of the method is that one needs a number of spectra of the star in question, secured at different months of the year.

 The Earth Energy of Fr. Athanasus Kirchner
During this time period of the 1800s, the telluric notions of the alchemists came to be viewed as quite relevant and essential by many engineers and vital scientific knowledge to such notable personages as Crookes, and Lodge, who involved themselves deeply in the "psychic effects" and "spiritual effects" of telluric energies without fearof ridicule.
Indeed, the "Telluric Energy" of Kirchner far exceeded the frail power of mere electrical currents, as large as that power might be considered to be, by some.
All the immense energy of the Telluric Current was put through these modulations specifically for the purpose of magnifying the Consciousness Awareness, and the intellects and hearts of the chosen few.

 George Glazer Gallery - Joslin Solar Telluric Manual
This device is comprised of a Joslin 6-inch globe in meridian ("day circle") revolving with arrow pointer on a pierced cast iron stand with paper calendar and zodiac, and having central brass ball representing the sun.
This was a popular model for Joslin, produced in relatively large numbers in the second half of the 19th century.
The introduction of the manual explains the need and utility for the Solar Telluric Globe, emphasizing that it is both "a model of the earth and sun, showing their motions, and illustrating the relations which each sustains to the other." The frontispage opposite the title has a woodcut illustration of the globe.
