Summary
Abstract: A visual scan of the data from March 1988 to December 1990 was undertaken to identify cases where correlations with local phenomena were apparent. The bulk of the correlations found were with wind speed, but a limited number of wind direction and humidity effects were also detected. No correlations with temperature or pressure were visible in this initial examination of the data. When the wind ... View entire text

RDEFM > Rotating Dipole Electric Field Mill Ancillary Description
Quality There are 16 channels of data, including the electric field at various ranges, air temperature, humidity, wind speed and wind direction collected at 10 second resolution. A folder of monthly and annual reports is the only information available for the interpretation of these data. The data for 1993 and 1994 should be considered highly suspect as the dipole on the electric field mill was bent, and an accurate calibration was unable to be obtained.
