A pole mounted 'field mill' type electrostatic fieldmeter provides a simple and practical way for measurement, and for long term continuous monitoring, of ground level atmospheric electric fields. The. paper describes a number of studies of this measurement method. These show how atmospheric electric field values are derived from the response of the fieldmeter when earth bonded and its height above ground level. The response of the fieldmeter is calibrated via the linear variation of its response to voltage applied during the set up procedure. The studies confirm a linearity of fieldmeter response with height above ground. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
