Abstract
A SYSTEMATIC study of atmospherics was recently commenced in this laboratory (lat. 11° 25 N., long. 79° 44 E.), in view of the importance of the problem in connexion with broadcasting in the tropics. A tuned receiver and a galvanometer of period 1 second were used to record photographically the atmospherics. The results obtained during the months of October and November 1934 (a period during which the atmospheric activity was extremely severe) are of much interest, in connexion with the discrepancies observed between the results for the average duration of atmospherics as recorded by several investigators.
