Correlations of electric potential gradients at land stations and their implication on the classical picture of atmospheric electricity
TLDR
In this paper, the correlation coefficients of the electric potential gradient of three year annual hourly and monthly hourly means in GMT and LST and monthly means are computed for over one hundred and seventy-five station pairs.Abstract:
The correlation coefficients of the electric potential gradient of three year annual hourly and monthly hourly means in GMT and LST and monthly means are computed for over one hundred and seventy-five station pairs. In general, low values are found. The validity of the data and analysis are discussed; also the implications of the results on the classical picture of atmospheric electricity.read more

The Global Atmospheric Electrical Circuit and Climate
TL;DR: In this article, physical links between clouds, global temperatures, the global atmospheric electrical circuit and cosmic ray ionisation have been found to occur via the ion-assisted formation of ultra-fine aerosol, which can grow to sizes able to act as cloud condensation nuclei.

The Global Circuit Intensity: Its Measurement and Variation over the Last 50 Years
TL;DR: The average geoelectric potential (Vi) magnitude has remained relatively constant at about 240 kV, except for a temporary increase of as much as 40% following a period of intense atmospheric nuclear testing in the early 1960s as mentioned in this paper.

Aircraft measurements of the atmospheric electrical global circuit during the period 1971–1984
TL;DR: In this article, an investigation of the global circuit conducted over the last 14 years through aircraft measurements of the variation of ionospheric potential and associated parameters is presented. But, the authors do not discuss meteorological sources of error and criteria for determining if the global circuits are being measured rather than variations caused by local meteorological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ionospheric potential variations obtained from aircraft measurements of potential gradient
TL;DR: In this article, a technique for obtaining the temporal variation of ionospheric potential without recourse to averaging many days' data was developed, which depends on whether the vertical potential gradient at constant altitude well above the exchange layer is proportional to ionosphere potential.

Long-term measurements of the global atmospheric electric circuit at Eskdalemuir, Scotland, 1911-1981
TL;DR: A long series of surface potential gradient (PG) measurements made at a remote site at Eskdalemuir, Scotland (55°19′N, 3°12′W) has been recovered from archives.

On the diurnal variation of the potential gradient of atmospheric electricity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the diurnal variation of the potential gradient over the oceans and found that, despite the greater complexity of the variation over land, a large percentage of the stations considered show sufficiently good agreement with the ocean results to furnish strong evidence for the assumption of a worldwide effect of 24-hour period progressing approximately according to universal time.

TL;DR: In this article, the vertical structure of field, conductivity and current in "good weather" is discussed, as well as the distribution of space charge in the atmosphere and the time variation of field and potential at high altitude.
