Abstract
INTRODUCTION.The distribution of electricity in the atmosphere has hitherto been calculated, so far as the author is aware, solely on the assumption that the portion of the Earth's surface considered is a plane, the equipotential surfaces in the atmosphere being planes parallel to it.2 This procedure, simple as it is, admits of only limited application of the results to the actual problems. In the following the calculation is based upon an assumption, which, while still decidedly too simple to cover all the details occurring in the exceedingly complicated field of atmospheric electricity, may be taken as sufficient for the standard case, before we are provided with more improved observational data from all quarters of the world.
