    Calculating Amplitude of Electromagnetic Waves 100 km from Earth

    I assume your sigma0 is the permittivity of free space (I know it as epsilon0). In any case your formula is missing a factor 1/2 (for the average power). You can also write S=E^2/(2*Z0), Z0 being the impedance of the vacuum, 377 Ohm (That number is simply easier to remember). S is the power...
