Critical Review of Electric Field Measurements

  • Conference paper
Earth’s Magnetospheric Processes

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 32))

Abstract

Current methods and results of electric field measurements are summarized. An excellent and extensive review covering both experiments and results has been given by Haerendel (1972). The interest in electric fields and electric field measurements has increased enormously during the last year. Therefore it has been necessary to limit this review to cover mainly the new developments since Haerendel’s review which was written in 1970. Only dc measurements will be discussed.
