Abstract

We study analytically and numerically the relationships for a passive horizontal ring antenna, which is used as a collector for long-term observatory measurements of the atmospheric electric current density. The spatial distributions of the potential and the electric field as functions of the geometric characteristics of the antenna, which is located in a uniform atmospheric electric field, are determined in the electrostatic approximation and the parameters of the atmosphericion motion in the neighborhood of the antenna are calculated. The effective collecting area of the antenna is determined by two different methods. The time of deposition of the atmospheric ions with a given mobility on the collector as a function of the impact parameter and the initial height, which is determined by this parameter, is established. The results of direct measurements of the atmospheric electric current density by a collector are compared with the results of synchronous observations of the atmospheric electric field and the electrical conductivity in the surface layer.

用无源水平环形天线在表层测量大气电流密度:静电近似

本文研究了用于大气电流密度长期观测的无源水平环形天线的解析和数值关系。在静电近似中，确定了天线处于均匀大气电场中的势和电场随天线几何特性的空间分布，并计算了天线周围大气运动参数。采用两种不同的方法确定天线的有效收集面积。建立了具有给定迁移率的大气离子在集热器上的沉积时间与撞击参数和由该参数决定的初始高度的关系。用集电极直接测量大气电流密度的结果与同步观测大气电场和表层电导率的结果进行了比较。
