## Abstract When point discharge occurs at an earthβconnected point, ions of one sign travel to earth through the point while ions of opposite sign travel away in the wind. This stream of ions reduces the potential gradient at the ground to leeward of the point below that to windward. Theory shows

## Abstract An account is given of measurements of the current flowing to earth through a point set up at a height of 12 m, together with the electric field near the ground. Pointβdischarge current of either sign may be represented approximately as increasing with the square of the field, as found
Fine dark Ha filaments 'fibrils' form at the limb, apparently in most of the middle chromosphere corresponding to an altitude between 1500-2000kin and 4000km. The space in between filaments is corona and the transition layer. The 'cool' gas in fibrils is protected by the magnetic field against the c
