Experimental studies on temporal, vertical and spatial variations of atmospheric electrical conductivity related to radioactivity at Mysore

摘要：

Atmospheric electrical conductivity of both positive and negative polarities and ion pair production rate due to radon and its progeny concentrations are studied simultaneously at a low latitude station Mysore (12 o N, 76 o E), India. It is observed that the conductivity and ion pair production rate are maxima in the early morning hours, generally between 04 and 07 hrs and decrease after sunrise, attaining almost a constant value during 12 to 22 hrs. Weekly variations in atmospheric electrical conductivity show higher values during Sundays than other week days indicating a possible relation to atmospheric pollution related to anthropogenic activities. Seasonal variations show that, during summer the conductivity and the estimated ion-pair production rate are low compared to that in winter.
