Influence of a single lightning discharge on the intensity of an air electric field and acoustic emission of near-surface rocks

The effect was observed as a sharp fall of the electric potential gradient from +80 V m<sup>−1</sup> down to –21 V m<sup>−1</sup>. After that the field returned to its normal level according to the formula of the capacitor discharge with 17 s c...
