Abstract

Atmospheric ions play an important role in the fair weather electricity. Atmosphere's fair weather condition concerns the electric field and the electric current in the air as well as the air conductivity. On the other hand, atmospheric ions are important for Earth's climate, due to their potential role in secondary aerosol formation. This can lead to increased number of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), which in turn can change the cloud properties. Our aim is to quantify the connections between these two important roles of air ions based on field observations and existing data archives.
