Atmospheric electricity, electrical phenomena that occur in the lower atmosphere, usually the troposphere e.g., the production, transport, and loss of free electrical charges; the change in electrical potential from point to point in the atmosphere; and the atmosphere's electrical conductivity.
They also participate in chemical processes and influence the electrical properties of the atmosphere.
The new radar is not effective directly north of the continent because of electrical disturbances in the atmosphere.
Once on Mars, the microphone, which is the size of a matchbox, is expected to record wind, sandstorms and the crackle of electrical discharges in the atmosphere.
A number of factors — including temperature, dew point, wind speed and even the atmosphere's electrical structure — ultimately determine just how big a flake can get.
There are authenticated reports of glowing, floating, stable balls of light several tens of centimetres in diameter occurring at times of intense electrical activity in the atmosphere.
The decrease of electrical conductivity in open atmosphere with time was also studied to understand the stability of doped polymers.
One is the action of electrical energy on the atmosphere, which dissociates nitrogen and oxygen molecules, allowing the free atoms to form nitric oxide, NO, and nitrogen dioxide, NO2.
In what became known as the Miller-Urey experiment, the two scientists combined warm water with a mixture of four gases water vapour, methane, ammonia, and molecular hydrogen and pulsed the "atmosphere" with electrical discharges.
Geomagnetic storm: large spikes in electrical currents in the atmosphere and on the ground induced by induced by interaction of Earth's magnetic field with the solar wind supercharged by CMEs.
