Empirical evidence for multidecadal scale global atmospheric electric circuit modulation by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) modifies precipitation patterns across the planet. Charge separation in disturbed weather and thunderstorms drives the global atmospheric electric circuit (GEC), hence ENSO-induced precipitation changes are ...

A Site Evaluation Campaign for a Ground Based Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope in Romania

, 2010
Around the world, several scientific projects share the interest of a global network of small Cherenkov telescopes for monitoring observations of the brightest blazars - the DWARF network. A small, ground based, imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope of

The Contribution of Sprite Streamers to the Chemical Composition of the Mesosphere‐Lower Thermosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Sprites are mesospheric filamentary discharges that liberate and accelerate large quantities of electrons. They produce local enhancements of some chemical species and fast (millisecond) optical emissions.

Scientific goals of optical instruments of the National Heliogeophysical Complex

Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2020
Studies of the upper atmosphere have to be performed using optical photometric and spectrometric means. Modern devices allow precise photometry of the glow of the night atmosphere — airglow — with high temporal spatial and spectral resolution.

Julius Elster and Hans Geitel – Dioscuri of physics and pioneer investigators in atmospheric electricity

, 2017
. Julius Elster and Hans Geitel contributed to the physics at the turn of the 19–20th century in many ways. We first summarize the life of these exceptional scientists. Then – owing to the topic of this journal – we focus on their atmospheric electricity
