Influences of cosmic radiation, artificial radioactivity and aerosol concentration upon the fair-weather atmospheric electric field in Lisbon (1955–1991) [PDF]
The atmospheric electric field is influenced by cosmic radiation, radioactivity and aerosols. In this work we investigate the existence of: (i) correlations between relative anomalies of annual values of atmospheric electric field and cosmic radiation ...

Trends and Features of Thunderstorms and Lightning Activity in the Upper Volga Region
An increase in the frequency of atmospheric hazards in a changing climate has attracted interest in the study of regional features of mesoscale convective systems and trends of lightning activity. Severe convective storms are the most destructive weather

The atmospheric electric field in Athens-Greece
In the present study, the daily, annual and seasonal variations of the electric field in Athens-Greece, for all weather as well as for fair weather conditions, for the 16-years period 1965–1980 were examined. The daily variation of the electric field follows a double oscillation.

Isotropic Irradiation Model from Atmospheric Discharges Using Local Atmospheric Electric Field Data
Using a local atmospheric electric field sensor network (Field Mill), an electromagnetic link model was proposed considering a free space electric field and a theoretical electric field calculated from an atmospheric discharge. With this, it was possible

The induced electric field distribution in the solar atmosphere [PDF]
A method of calculating induced electric field is presented in this paper. Induced electric field in solar atmosphere is derived by the time variation of magnetic field when the charged particle accumulation is neglected. In order to get the spatial distribution of magnetic field, several extrapolation methods are introduced.

Development of Wireless Electric Field Mill for Atmospheric Electric Field Observation
Rotating-vane electric field mill (REFM) sensor is one of the popular methods to measure atmospheric quasi-static electric field. Lightning incident occasion can be predicted by observing electric fields strength in atmosphere. In this paper an integration of REFM with an online wireless data monitoring system for long distance observation and data ...

Ambipolar Electric Field, Photoelectrons, and their Role in Atmospheric Escape From Hot-jupiters [PDF]
Atmospheric mass-loss from Hot-jupiters can be large due to the close proximity of these planets to their host star and the strong radiation the planetary atmosphere receives.

A model study of corona emission from hydrometeors [PDF]
The maximum measured electric fields in thunderclouds are an order of magnitude less than the fields required for electric breakdown of the air. One explanation for lightning initiation in these low fields is that electric breakdown first occurs at the ...
