Scientific paper

Recent observations showed that electrical measurements made in the stratosphere at balloon altitudes may be severely contaminated by photoelectric emissions from the surfaces of instrumentation coated with such materials as Aquadag. In this work, observations of the contamination of stratospheric measurements of electric field and conductivity were carried out. A model was used to investigate the means by which the electrical measurements are contaminated by the photocurrent from a simple double-probe system. Results show that the photocurrent from stratospheric payloads is more than sufficient to account for the perturbations observed in the electric field and conductivity measurements.
