Alti-electrograph

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010365

An instrument designed to measure and record variations in atmospheric electric potential with altitude. This device is typically carried aloft by balloons or aircraft to profile the electrical properties of the atmosphere. It provides data on the vertical distribution of electric fields, which is relevant to understanding thunderstorm development and atmospheric electricity.
