The Global Electric Circuit and Global Seismicity [PDF]
Geosciences, 2021 Basing on the catalogue of earthquakes with a magnitude of M ≥ 4.5 for the period 1973–2017, a UT variation with an amplitude of ~10% in the number of earthquakes is revealed and compared with a UT variation in the ionospheric potential (IP) with an ...

The atmospheric global electric circuit: An overview [PDF]
Atmospheric Research, 2007 Research work in the area of the Global Electric Circuit (GEC) has rapidly expanded in recent years mainly through observations of lightning from satellites and ground-based networks and observations of optical emissions between cloud and the ionosphere. After reviewing this progress, we critically examine the role of various generators of the currents

Effects of Forbush Decreases on the Global Electric Circuit
Space WeatherThe suppression of high‐energy cosmic rays, known as Forbush decreases (FDs), represents a promising factor in influencing the global electric circuit (GEC) system.

Some Recent Key Aspects of the DC Global Electric Circuit
AtmosphereThe DC global electric circuit, GEC, was conceived by C.T.R. Wilson more than a century ago. Powered by thunderstorms and electrified shower clouds, an electric current I ~1 kA flows up into the ionosphere, maintaining the ionospheric potential V ~250 kV

On the role of transient currents in the global electric circuit
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 This study examines the way in which different types of lightning, both cloud‐to‐ground (CG) and intracloud (IC) flashes, drive current in the global circuit. A numerical model of the transient electric field due to CG and IC flashes and their Maxwell relaxation (slow transients) is developed. The electric field (E) and current distributions, the decay

Local Atmospheric Electric Circuit Model Using Electrostatic Pickups on a 375kV Transmission Line [PDF]
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2022 : The global atmospheric electric circuit is based on a model of electrical connection between the earth and the ionosphere (waveguide), capable of representing the flow of electric current in this waveguide.

Sensors, 2023 The atmospheric electric current, “air–earth current”, flows between the low ionosphere and Earth’s surface. The source of this current is the potential difference between the global equalizing layer called the ionosphere and the ground surface ...

The effect of a gamma ray flare on Schumann resonances [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2012 We describe the ionospheric modification by the SGR 1806-20 gamma flare (27 December 2004) seen in the global electromagnetic (Schumann) resonance. The gamma rays lowered the ionosphere over the dayside of the globe and modified the Schumann resonance

A new link between El Niño—Southern Oscillation and atmospheric electricity
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 The global electric circuit (GEC) is a unique atmospheric system driven by the global distribution of thunderstorms and electrified shower clouds. The GEC unites electric fields and currents in the entire atmosphere and is characterized by the permanent ...
