Abstract
We propose the test-structure method for modeling of electric-field pulsations in the atmosphere. Numerical calculations necessary for interpretation of the behavior of experimental spectra and structure functions of the electric field are performed. Analysis of experimental data shows that the aeroelectric-field strength, being a nonlocal quantity, is formed by an inhomogeneous distribution of space charges surrounding the observation point. Quantitative assessments of the state of the atmospheric boundary layer, electro-gas-dynamic turbulence and convection parameters are discussed on the basis of spectral and structure functions of the electric field.
