Vertical electric currents in the atmosphere and its role in formation of the surface layer electrodynamics' structure
The review of experimental research of vertical atmosphere electric currents near the ground surface and from atmosphere to the earth in the Rostov region is presented. It is found out that the vertical change of the conductivity current density leads to the space charge formation near the earth surface; transit and distribution of this charge are due to mechanical transfer current whose density is appreciably determined by meteorological conditions in the point of observations.
