This device provides a methodology for determining polarity, which would be important for the determination of earthquake induced surface charge levels. Earthquake induced charges provide a short term polarity reversal at the surface relative to the atmosphere.
Thanks again Frank. Besides the added polarity indication feature, this model looks sturdier.
I haven't yet found a description of the field mills use in the field as it were. How they capture the data with the home-builts for example. I noticed most the references have the field mill stationary, but I rather had in mind to move with it on a line taking periodic stationary measurements. While this adds complexity to the data by changing position over time, if you consistantly use that method then you can build up a library of similar readings to compare.
I have bookmarked several of the articles linked to on the new satellite use in mapping Infrared & other variations, & the rock squeezing experiments producing the migrating holes. Off to study then; adieu.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
