Influence of aerosols on electrical parameters in the free atmosphere
Abstract
A force-ventilated device for measuring the small positive ion density from a rising balloon platform in the free atmosphere has been developed and tested on 6 flights. The data from individual soundings indicate that the instrument produces self consistent results but there appears to be long term trends of the apparent stratospheric ion density which may be associated with some unidentified variable.
