Abstract:

This is the first report about the analysis of atmospheric electric fields observed at Zhongshan Station,Antarctica. This paper mainly focuses on the basic observation situation and the average characteristics of the surface electric field. The average characteristics includes spectra in several time scales, seasonal variation, and typical feature in different weathers. These fundamental features can be considered as "background" and will be applied to the analysis of the controlling factor in the formation of this average characteristics of electric field. Furthermore, on the basis of this "background" we will explore the response of atmospheric electric field to all kinds of disturbances.
