Characteristics of the atmospheric electric field and correlation with CO2 at a rural site in southern Balkans
In the current work, 4 years of atmospheric electric field observations at a rural site near Xanthi, Greece, are presented for 2011–2014. The site is situated in an area with very high radon fluxes…
Long-term changes in atmospheric electrical parameters observed at Nagycenk (Hungary) and the UK observatories at Eskdalemuir and Kew
The Nagycenk Geophysical Observatory in Hun- gary (47 38 0 N, 16 43 0 E) has made continuous measure- ments of the vertical atmospheric electric Potential Gradient (PG) since 1962. Global signals…
Revisiting the long-term decreasing trend of atmospheric electric potential gradient measured at Nagycenk, Hungary, Central Europe
Abstract. In 2003, a decreasing trend has been reported in the long-term (1962–2001) fair weather atmospheric electric potential gradient (PG) measured in the Széchenyi István Geophysical Observatory…
Toward a Realistic Representation of Global Electric Circuit Generators in Models of Atmospheric Dynamics
The diurnal variation of the global electric circuit (GEC) is simulated using the Weather Research and Forecasting model by estimating contributions of grid columns to the ionospheric potential (IP).…
