Studying the Ionization of Atmospheric Surface Layer in Different Geophysical Conditions

T. V. Kudrinskaya, G. V. Kupovykh, and A. A. Redin

The results of atmospheric electricity measurements are presented which were conducted at observation points of different types: at the urban point (Rostov-on-Don), at the point near the Sea of Azov (Taganrog and Primorka), and at the high-mountain point (Cheget Peak) near Elbrus. The patterns of spatiotemporal variations in electrical conductivity (concentration of light ions) of the atmospheric surface layer are revealed for different conditions. The impact of natural radioactivity and aerosol pollution on the concentration of light ions is assessed for observation points near the Taganrog Bay (the Sea of Azov). The results of the comparative analysis of urban and high-mountain data of atmospheric electricity observations are presented.
