Abstract

Instruments were fabricated for measurement from aircraft, of (i) vertical component of potential gradient, (ii) cloud droplet charge and (iii) static discharge current. The instruments were flight tested on seven days in maritime and continental clouds during the 1974 summer monsoon. The paper describes the instruments and the preliminary results.
