Armenian and German SEVAN groups established the SEVAN module at the Environmental research station Scheefernhaus (Zugspitze, 2650 m). A historical site where Johim Kuettner performed seminal experiments on the charge structure of the thundercloud in 1945-1949.
The near-surface electric field (NSEF) measurements will support particle flux measurements with the EFM-100 sensor installed nearby. The NSEF measurements will highly improve the research of particle-atmosphere relations, which is on top of atmospheric physics research.
