Instrument and Influence: The Problem of Fair Weather Electricity (1850–1930)
… a history of the fair weather problem, an atmospheric electric phenomenon, between 1850 and 1930. The analogy and presumed identity between lightning and the sparks drawn from electrical machines in 1752 has been heralded as a pivotal moment in the history of physics. That same year, …

Investigation of Long-timescale Behavior of Positive DC Streamer Coronas
… ionic wind generation, agriculture and atmospheric electricity. Even when excited by a DC voltage, streamers in atmospheric-pressure air typically self-pulsate with a frequency of several kilohertz. The generally-accepted explanation for DC streamer self-pulsation is that it is driven by …

A stochastic ensemble forecast model for geosynchronous relativistic electron fluxes
A stochastic ensemble model composed of three functional forecasting models has been developed to forecast >2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous (GEO) orbit. The REFM model is based on a statistical link between electron flux and solar wind speed using empirically derived linear filter …

Remote measurement of ELF/VLF radio emissions by lightning and ground-based transmitters
… for future work.</p><p>A brief background on the atmospheric ELF and VLF environments is given in chapter 1, including a description of the conditions that allow for excellent propagation. A brief introduction to the lightning processes, as well as classification and measurement techniques is …
