On the Surface Electric Field during Rainfall

[摘要] Surface electric field during rainfall was observed simultaneously by means of measurement of charge on raindrops and rainfall intensity from 1956 to 1958. “Mirror image” relation was observed in almost all rainfalls but the results obtained under relatively weak surface electric field showed many evidences that the relation is not explained by Wilson's induction theory. It is concluded that space charge due to charge on raindrops has some effect on surface electric field.
