In 1920, he succeeded McClelland as Professor of Experimental Physics, guiding research into atmospheric electricity and aerosols.

A few weeks later he added regular observations on atmospheric electricity and changes in the magnetic elements.

Atmospheric electricity on Mars is still unmeasured, and its possible role in dust storms and atmospheric chemistry remains.
14.
Lightning rod pre-dates voltaic pile by several decades; however, lower atmospheric electricity is also static in its origin.

In 1846 the East India Company ordered his full atmospheric electricity collecting and measuring apparatus for the observatory.
16.
Observations focused on meteorology, geomagnetism, auroral phenomena, ocean currents, tides, structure and the motion of ice and atmospheric electricity.

This was the paper rejected by the U . S . journal " Terrestrial Magnetism and Atmospheric Electricity ".

Thereafter he did his PhD in Atmospheric Electricity and Cloud Physics at the Imperial College of the University of London.

"' Atmospheric electricity "'is the study of electrical charges in the Earth's atmosphere ( or that of another planet ).
20.
On his return, he published his atmospheric electricity observations made in Palermo, Sicily, and near the erupting crater of Vesuvius.
