Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of atmospheric electrical conductivity during monsoon period at a semi-urban site of Northern India. Continuous measurements of unipolar positive conductivity along with some meteorological parameters were made from June to August 2010 at Roorkee (29°52′N, 77°53′E, 275 m above sea level). The electrical conductivity for the three consecutive months was in the range of (25.2–19.5), (65–18) and (53–26) × 10−16 S/m respectively. The atmospheric electrical conductivity was positively correlated with wind speed, relative humidity and rain fall while it was found to be negatively correlated with average temperature in the monsoon period. Possible causes for the variation of atmospheric electrical conductivity in the light of meteorological parameters were discussed.
