Abstract
The result of Hogg (1939) that the positive and negative conductivities in the air vary with height in the lowest regions of the atmosphere, and the fact of a field strength almost unaltered with height can be reconciled by assuming the rate of ionisation to depend upon the height.

## Abstract The supply of kinetic energy to a shallow layer of air is considered. The cases chosen for analysis comprise occasions of comparatively strong wind and of fairly small temperature gradient so that the supply of kinetic energy from the vertical flux of total heat is not important at smal
