Abstract
The studies reported show that measurements of atmospheric electric fields by pole mounted electrostatic fieldmeters can match measurements by a horizontal antenna wire. Some differences were experienced early in the tests that cannot yet be explained. The differences are tentatively attributed to tribocharging actions during initial set up of the antenna system and by wind blown airborne particulates at the antenna wire. Pole mounted fieldmeters provide opportunity for long term unattended measurements in quite adverse weather conditions with continuous checking of operational health against debris, spider's webs, etc.
