MEASUREMENT OF THE ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRIC FIELD AT THE PARATUNKA OBSERVATORY
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
A mathematical model of the quasi-static electric field in the surface air layer in the sensor installation area is constructed with regard to its design and placement in a forest glade. The calculations are performed for the conditions of the Paratunka Geophysical Observatory. The model takes into account the influence of the contours of the glade, the height of the surrounding forest, and changes in the height of the snow cover in winter on measurements of the electric field. We calculate the calibration coefficients for the measurements, which should be used to eliminate distortions of the atmospheric electric field introduced by the measuring system.
