New Results of Modeling Electrical Characteristics of the Atmosphere Based on Remote Sensing Data

Abstract

Summary On the basis of experimental data vertical distribution electric field strength of the atmosphere, the applied problem of fitting constants in the model of the average self-consistent electric field is solved. The model is based on the nonlinear Poisson equation. Such an approach is not trivial because generally known in meteorology interpolation exponential functions describing the empirical distribution of the electrical characteristics of the atmosphere not quite correctly reproduce the experimental data. The verification of the constants was carried out based on two different experimental data sets of aircraft and Balloon sounding of the electric field intensity of the atmosphere. The values match well despite the fact that the results of the calculations were carried out using different measurement methods, spatial distribution and for different years. It is also shown that the results of the vertical distribution of dielectric constant correlate well with the vertical distribution of ozone partial pressure. For the first time the relationship between the vertical distribution of the polarization term and the partial pressure of ozone has been obtained which requires further study.
