Abstract:
Aerosol influence on the electric field intensity in the atmospheric surface layer is analyzed based on experimental data. The features of electrooptical relations in haze conditions produced in summer by forest fires and by aerosol accumulation during winter surface inversions are discussed. We determined that in summer optical hazes, containing fine aerosol, the electric field intensity and the atmospheric turbidity increase and the air conductivity decreases due to aeroion sink on submicrometer aerosol particles. However, sometimes in summer smogs/smokes, containing coarse aerosol particles, the electric field intensity and the atmospheric turbidity change reversely, though in winter smogs/smokes the electric field intensity and the atmospheric turbidity also change in phase. The reasons of different influence of smogs/smokes of different various origins on the electric field intensity are discussed.
