| Abstract: | Measurement of the fair weather electric field at Port Moresby during the dry season in July–August 1988 shows no clear effect of the world-wide thunderstorm activity predicted by Mauchlyy S. J. (1923, J. geophys. Res. 28, 61). The observed field is generally low—approximately, 60V/m—during daytime but remains relatively higher—about 150 V/m—at night. The field strength increases slowly after sunset but decreases sharply after sunrise. The levels observed are typical of isolated sites and the frequent temperature inversion observed during the period is suggested as the likely explanation of the observed behaviour of the field. |
