The MEM Project (Interreg IIIA Adriatic Cross Border Programme) has been activated in LAquila since
2004. The leader partner of the project is the Abruzzo Region. The main scientific objective of the
project is the characterization of the electromagnetic background noise in the frequency band from
0.001 Hz to 100 kHz in Earth-Ionosphere cavity. Further scientific objectives of the MEM Project are the
model realization of the electric and magnetic fields generated in a 3-dimensional earth by induction
sources in the lithosphere and the study of electromagnetic signals produced in the Earth interior. The
study of electric and magnetic phenomena linked to tectonic processes allow us to locate the
electromagnetic sources by means of interferometric methods. The first station of the MEM
interferometric array has been installed in LAquila near the INGV Geomagnetic Observatory (42 23 N,
13 19E, 682m a.s.l.) and it is working from the middle of 2005. Here we report the preliminary results
obtained in the LAquila MEM station concerning the non inductive field analysis by means of the Earth
impulse response functions.
