| contents | Atmospheric electric field effects of cosmic rays detected in Mexico City L. X. González J. F. Valdés-Galicia Ciencias de la Tierra cosmic rays Atmospheric electric field We studied the possible effects of atmospheric electric fields, generated in thunderstorms, on the cosmic ray intensitydetected at the Earths surface by investigating the variations of the counting rates of the cosmic-ray nucleonic component,obtained from the neutron monitor installed in Mexico City, for thunderstorms during 1996 and 1997. These were years ofminimum solar activity. We compare our experimental results with the general theory of cosmic ray meteorological effects byDorman (1995).The observed intensity variation is about 0.2%. According to Dorman (1995), the effect should be between 0.27% and0.81% on the counting rate of the neutron monitor when the atmospheric electric field intensities are around 100 to 300 Vcm-1.Our results show that either the electric field in Mexico City had less intensity than assumed by Dorman (1995), or the electricfield is not uniform in time and height during the development of the thunderstorm. 2006 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56845404 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.4 Vol.45 |
