1971-03-30 The atmospheric electric field measured on the research vessel, "Hakuho-Maru", on the Mid- and South-Pacific Ocean was compared with that measured at Syowa Station in Antarctica and on two vessels on the Mid-Atlantic ocean. The ratio of daily averages on Hakuho-Maru and at Syowa Station alters in accordance with the advance of Hakuho-Maru, and it suggests the latitude effect characterized by the gradual decrease toward the antarctic region. The correlation of the diurnal course of the electric field among these globally representative stations is much higher than that among the land stations. This indicates the influence of the atmospheric electrical generator extends over the entire globe without significant attenuation. departmental bulletin paper
