THE HYPERELECTRIFICATION OF RAINDROPS BY ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRIC FIELDS
Journal of Meteorology, 1956Abstract The role of atmospheric electric fields in selectively charging raindrops is analyzed and compared with direct measurements made inside an active thunderstorm. Expressions are developed for the free charge transferred to conducting spheres polarized by an electric field and immersed in an environment in which the positive and negative ionic ...

Variation of atmospheric electric field during aurorae
pure and applied geophysics, 1972The 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.

The influence of rain on the atmospheric‐electric field
Terrestrial Magnetism and Atmospheric Electricity, 1930Photographic records of the atmospheric‐electric field variations at times of rain are examined along with pluviograms covering these periods. It is found that the normal effect of rain is to abruptly reverse the normal positive field in the early stages, while in a few cases it results in a sudden reduction without change of sign.

The Atmospheric Electric Field Variations in The Surface Layer
2019 Russian Open Conference on Radio Wave Propagation (RWP), 2019A mathematical model of non-stationary electrical processes in the surface layer of the atmosphere has been constructed and analyzed. An approximate analytical solution of the system of equations of the model is found in the form of an explicit dependence of the electric field strength on time, height and coefficient of turbulent diffusion ...

Operation of Electric Motors from the Atmospheric Electric Field
American Journal of Physics, 1971An electret-type electric motor and a corona-type electric motor have been constructed for operation from the earth electric field. The power is delivered to the motors by means of simple earth-field antennas with radioactive or sharp-point collectors. Initial results on the operation of the motors are reported.

Effect of an artificial cloud on the atmospheric electric field
Izvestiya, Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics, 2007Preliminary experimental data on the effect of an artificial steam-water cloud (SWC) on the atmospheric electric field are presented. The experiments were conducted on October 12, 2004, on the Kamchatka occurrence of thermal-power waters in the region of the active Mutnov power plant.

Winds and Electric Fields in the Upper Atmosphere
1975Winds and electric fields are in fact some of the oldest problems in the field of atmospheric physics. In 1882 Balfour Stewart suggested that an electrically conducting region may exist in the atmosphere which is moved (winds !) relative to the geomagnetic field of the Earth.

Electric field generation in atmospheric convective cells
Journal of Atmospheric and Terrestrial Physics, 1992Abstract An electric field generation mechanism in the atmosphere, formed by the joint action of friction and gravitational forces upon the charged aerosol particles captured into a convective cell is considered. It is shown that the electric field structure may be found by a self-consistent approach, taking into account the influence of the electric

The field of atmospheric electricity and the geological structure of the Earth
Proceedings, 2016This paper present in the theses style the information about the main results of scientific research, obtained by the author recently. A model of the structure of Earth and atmosphere electric field is analyzed. It is specified the interdependence between electrical charge, temperature and pressure, which makes it possible to explain many phenomena ...
