Diurnal Variations of Global Thunderstorms and Electrified Shower Clouds and Their Contribution to the Global Electrical Circuit
The long-standing mainstay of support for C. T. R. Wilson’s global circuit hypothesis is the similarity between the diurnal variation of thunderstorm days in universal time and the Carnegie curve of electrical potential gradient. This rough agreement has sustained the widespread view that thunderstorms are the ‘‘batteries’’ for the global electrical circuit. This study utilizes 10 years of Trop...
متن کاملFine Structure of the Global Electric Circuit
An extensive database obtained after long-term ground-based aero-electrical and magnetic measurements at the Geophysical Observatory “Borok”, enables a unique insight into the main components of the global electric circuit and their interconnection from the middle-latitude observation point. Data analysis allows us to describe the global electric circuit as an aggregation of structures with dif...
متن کاملOutstanding Problems concerning the Global Electric Circuit
We revisit the problems related to the discrepancy between the observed amplitudes, of responses of the global circuit to inputs related to solar activity, as compared to modeled amplitudes. The solar activity modulates the latitude distribution of the cosmic ray flux. It also modulates the X-ray flux at middle to high latitudes in the stratosphere, that is due to Bremsstrahlung from MeV electr...
متن کاملDiurnal variation in the nitrate content of parsley foliage
The diurnal fluctuation of nitrate concentration in the foliage of three parsley subspecies (plain-leafed, curly-leafed and turnip rooted parsley) cultivated in the spring and autumn of two consecutive years was examined. Nitrogen was applied at 30 (Control), 75, 150, 300 mg kg-1 in both years, but with the addition of 450 mg kg-1 in year 2. Harvest was carried out at 08:30, 12:30 and 17:30 on ...
متن کاملGlobal Electric Circuit and Lower Atmospheric Electricity
This short report describes some recent results of global electric circuit investigations. The experimental foundation of global electric circuit conception is discussed. The main origins of global electric circuit formation are examined. The electrodynamical properties of fair-weather electricity are characterized with standpoint of universal spectra and aeroelectrical structure availability. ...
