Early morning values of the atmospheric electric potential gradient (PG) determined for late winter (January-February) at the Nagycenk observatory (Hungary) did not indicate any regular variation according to the 11-year period of solar activity during the last two solar cycles. Nevertheless, when the PG data were separated according to the two phases of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), a positive and significant correlation has been found between the atmospheric electricity and the solar parameter for the QBO west phase; the correlation was negative and less significant for the QBO east phase. The present results are discussed in accordance with previous ones indicating that the change in the ionospheric potential seems to be opposite to the solar cycle variation. The possibility of a global QBO signal is also discussed.
