DATA FROM A SYSTEM OF ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICITY STATIONS.

Abstract

Semiautomatic Atmospheric Electricity Stations were installed at Naval Air Stations in Argentina, Newfoundland; Lakehurst, New Jersey; Norfolk, Virginia; and Pensacola, Florida. These stations were instrumented to provide recordings of both polar conductivities and of electric field. The data are presented in tabular form listing daily, hourly averages of total conductivity, ratio of the two polar conductivities, potential gradient, and selected weather observations taken from WBAN reports. The tables list data for the period between installation and December 1, 1961. Graphs of seasonal hourly averages of conductivity in fog and in fair weather are presented. (Author)
