Abstract

Global Coordination of Atmospheric Electricity Measurements (GloCAEM) project brought these experts together to make the first steps towards an effective global network for FW atmospheric electricity monitoring by holding workshops to discuss measurement practises and instrumentation, as well as establish recording and archiving procedures to archive electric field data in a standardised, easily accessible format, then by creating a central data repository. This project was funded in the UK under NERC grant NE/N013689/1.

This dataset contains measurements of atmospheric electricity and electric potential gradient made using a Boltek EFM 100 Instrument mounted at 1.4 m height on a metal pole and operated by the National Institute of Polar Research and Japan Meteorological Agency at Syowa Station, East Ongul Island, Antarctica.
