The Measure of Atmospheric Electric Field

2011
We have developed a prototype of a sensor able to detect and measure electric fields in the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a gaseous envelope gravitationally bound to the Planet. Different atmospheres have very different properties. For instance, the atmosphere of Venus is very thick and cloudy, and is responsible for producing the very high surface ...

Cosmic-ray atmospheric electric field effects

Canadian Journal of Physics, 1995
Experimental data on the atmospheric electric field effect in the cosmic-ray muon component are discussed on the basis of the general theory of cosmic-ray meteorological effects. In this framework, we develop the theory of atmospheric electric field effects in the hard- and soft-muons of secondary cosmic rays and in the neutron-monitor counting rates ...

Atmospheric response to electric field pulse

Advances in Space Research, 2002
Abstract The complete plasmochemical model was developed for the study of electric field perturbations impact on aeronomy of middle atmosphere and lower ionosphere. The model includes the following set of processes: dissociation, dissociative recombination and dissociative ionization, ionization, excitation, electron attachement and detachement ...

Negative Electric Fields in the Atmosphere

Nature, 1949
ON a number of occasions during the past two years, we have observed a negative electric field (or potential gradient) in the atmosphere close to the earth's surface, when there has been very low stratus cloud (or ‘high-hanging fog'). The importance of this result is that it must involve a process of separation of charge occurring in the cloud and ...

Electric fields in the solar atmosphere

Solar Physics, 1977
The gross-structure of the force-free currents in the solar atmosphere and their possible dynamics have been discussed as caused by quasi short-circuited electric fields, generated by the motion of the solar magnetic features.

Lunar phases and atmospheric electric field

Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 1989
The association between the lunar phases and the atmospheric electric field has been investigated from the superposed epoch analysis of the long series of continuous data of the vertical electric field for Colaba, Bombay (18 ° 53′N, 73 ° 48′E 11 mASL) for the period 1947–1966.

Formation of a local atmospheric electric field

Geomagnetism and Aeronomy, 2011
We have estimated the variations in the atmospheric electrostatic field (AEF, EZ(0)) strength in the surface layer caused by variations in conductivity due to radon influences, cosmic ray intensity, changes in the balance of light and heavy ions during sunset and sunrise, and under the effect of the ionospheric electric current potential on the AEF ...

Variation of atmospheric electric field during aurorae

pure and applied geophysics, 1972
The measured data of the atmospheric potential gradientE during aurorae are summarized. It is shown that aurorae in the northern hemisphere decreaseE, and aurorae in the southern hemisphere increaseE. Depending on aurorae intensities, variations ofE reach 30–35% from the mean.

Electric Field Mill, an Effective Methodology to Measure the Localized Lower Atmospheric Electric Field

Materials Today: Proceedings, 2020
Abstract Atmospheric electric field is an utmost parameter to study the dynamics of earth’s atmosphere. Response of electric field may give the idea of localized atmospheric agitations. Electric field mill monitoring system monitors the atmospheric electric field variations which help to investigate and characterize the atmospheric variability in ...

Electric Fields in the Middle Atmosphere

Physica Scripta, 1987
Middle atmospheric electrodynamics is characterized by discussing the present understanding of the background electrical conductivity and the sources for electric fields and currents within the medium. Results of recent research that contradicts the historical view of the region are presented. Of principal interest to the present direction of the field
