Abstract

ANALYSIS of the available information1 shows that the pronounced electrification accompanying snowstorms and sandstorms is explicable qualitatively in terms of a mechanism of charge transfer accompanying temperature gradients in ice or sand. Preliminary experiments2 indicated that in order to test this theory quantitatively it is necessary to impose strict temperature control on the experiments which must be conducted within a sufficiently large volume for realistic measurements of space-charge density to be made.
