Abstract The study of the global atmospheric electric circuit is important to understand the climate system and this can be done by monitoring the atmospheric electric field worldwide. In this way, continuous measurements of atmospheric electric field are being recorded by the Atmospheric electric FIeld Network in South America (AFINSA). The main objective of this network is to obtain the daily curve of atmospheric electric field variations under fair weather conditions for each station, through monthly, seasonal and annual averages. These curves are called ‘standard curves’. In this paper, we compare and analyze the monthly, seasonal and annual standard curves for each sensor location. The results indicate significant similarities and differences between the annual standard curve and the Carnegie curve. The similarities, with correlation r ≥ 0.9 for most stations, are associated with a global representation of the global electrical circuit and the differences due to local effects, such as ‘Austausch’ effect and pollution.

与卡内基曲线比较对南美洲大气电场日变化的局部和全局影响

摘要 全球大气电路的研究对于了解气候系统很重要，这可以通过监测全球大气电场来实现。通过这种方式，南美洲大气电场网络（AFINSA）正在记录对大气电场的连续测量。该网络的主要目标是通过月、季和年平均值获得每个站点在晴朗天气条件下的大气电场日变化曲线。这些曲线称为“标准曲线”。在本文中，我们比较和分析了每个传感器位置的月度、季节和年度标准曲线。结果表明年度标准曲线和卡内基曲线之间存在显着的异同。相似性，相关性 r ≥ 0。
