摘要
Presented here are the results from a field study concerning the measurement of O-3 and N2O produced by corona discharge from a grounded metal tube with a sharp point during thunderstorms. We observed as much as a tenfold increase in the O-3 concentration as well as a four percent increase in the N2O concentration as a result of corona discharge. The concentrations of both O-3 and N2O returned to the original ambient levels after the thunderstorm ended.
