Abstract
Increases in intensity of X-radiation in the ground layer of the atmosphere observed during various atmospheric phenomena in two points: Apatity (Kola Peninsula) and Bar- entsburg (Spitsbergen) have been studied. A clear relation- ship between the increases and such atmospheric phenom- ena as rain and snowfall has been found. It is shown that these increases are not connected with any radionuclides. This research suggests that the principal cause of high-energy photons increase during precipitations are bremsstrahlung X rays created by energetic electrons accelerated by elec- tric fields in the clouds. A possible mechanism of generation of X ray photons is discussed.
