Measurement of atmospheric electrical fields during storms and the investigation of the effect of blowing dust on these fields
Entry ID:
K011_1969_1974_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
An electrostatic field mill, operated by the University of Auckand Physics Department was installed at Vanda Station and monitored electrical fields during storms throughout the year over several seasons. A phenomenon was recorded in April 1970 and considered at the time to be caused by blowing snow. The sensitivity of the mill was such that it had a full scale chart deflection of 800 volts per ...
