Abstract

The paper describes a combined sonde for the simultaneous measurement of the vertical distribution of electrical conductivity and potential gradient in the upper atmosphere during a balloon flight. The data obtained helps in evaluating the third parameter, i.e., air earth conduction current at all levels. Thus all the three main parameters of the atmosphericelectrioity can be measured with a single sonde. A typical sounding taken with the above instrument is also presented.
