Space charge densities were computed from measurements of atmospheric potential made at 0.25 m, 0.50 m, and 1 m above the ground. The potential was measured using Crozier's passive antenna technique at Gulmarg (2700 m). Results indicate the presence of a considerable amount of net negative charge at the 0.50 m level at the station throughout the day and night (in fair weather) under calm or light wind conditions and in the absence of snow at or around the station. A strong electrode effect was observed for a number of days after an unusually long spell of heavy rain. This was explained in terms of the reduction of radioactive emanations from the soil due to excessive moisture. Further evidence of the electrode effect was found from measurements of polar conductivities carried out close to a one-meter-thick snow surface.
