Abstract

 Atmospheric electric field was measured continuously in fair weather at Gulmarg by Using passive antenna system with and without snow lying on the ground. The results in general appear to-be consistent with the view that conduction current in the morning is increased as a result of change in the sign of convection current. It is shown that the morning rise in potential gradient at Gl1lmarg is a pronounced effect which gets considerably enhanced under the conditions of snow. The measurements during the period of snow can be explained If excess positive charge is assumed to be predent at the station.
