Abstract
Studies of variations in the atmospheric electric field vertical component (Ez) are illustrated based on data from the Apatity high-latitude observatory (geomagnetic latitude Φ' = 63.8°) for three solar cosmic ray (SCR) events that occurred on April 15, April 18, and November 4, 2001. For the SCR event of April 15, 2001, the observed Ez variations have been compared with the corresponding data from the Voeykovo midlatitude observatory and the Vostok observatory on the polar cap. It has been indicated that solar coronal mass ejections and some powerful SCR events can result in variations in the global electric circuit. Disturbances in the atmospheric electric field can be used to diagnose the development of intense processes on the Sun.
