Measurements of positive ions and air-Earth current density at Maitri
[1] Simultaneous measurements of the small, intermediate and large positive ions and air-Earth current density made at a coastal station, Maitri (704552S, 114403E, 130 m above sea level), at Antarctica during JanuaryFebruary 2005, are reported. Although small and large positive ion concentrations do...
