General Contributions in Atmospheric and Space Electricity

Session ID#: 79661

Session Description:
Research in atmospheric and space electricity (ASE) includes a wide range of topics beyond the most obvious thunderstorm-related studies. This session is appropriate for abstracts related to all aspects of fair weather and non-thunderstorm electricity, the global electric circuit, and non-thunderstorm effects of space charge in the atmosphere of Earth and other planetary bodies. Contributions are sought from those studying electrical discharges on other planetary bodies using any combination of techniques. Abstracts discussing theory and techniques for observations, experiments, and modeling of non-thunderstorm electrical conditions are sought for this session. Reports on any topics in ASE that do not readily fit within the other convened sessions are welcome.
