• Recent advances in global electric circuit coupling between the space environment and the troposphere (2012, background): “Few daily measurements have air conductivity greater than 5 fSm -1 in this data set, as it is a polluted site (see Figure 8(b) of Rycroft et al., 2008).”
• Recent advances in theory of transient luminous events (2010, background): “…of transient luminous events may include effects on the global electric circuit, in which the Earth‐ionosphere potential difference of several hundred thousand volts is predominantly driven by upward currents from thunderstorms [Rycroft, 2006; Rycroft et al., 2000, 2008; Tinsley, 2008].”
• Solar Influence on Global and Regional Climates (2012, methodology): “Multiple regression analysis of this kind has been used several times previously (e.g., Santer et al. 2001; Lean 2006; Lockwood 2008), but can be misleading if inter-correlations exist between the data series that are input into the study or if genuine factors are omitted.”
• The Carnegie Curve (2013, unknown): “Rycroft et al. (2008) combined the data from Cruises IV, V, VI and VII to provide more data in determining the change in the Carnegie curve in different seasons, but still found the maximum and minimum of the diurnal cycle barely statistically distinguishable during the summer.”
• Ionosphere plasma bubbles and density variations induced by pre‐earthquake rock currents and associated surface charges (2011, background): “…air conductivity s0 is caused by the finite mobility (m+ and m−) of positive ions (n+0) and negative ions (n−0), which can be produced by various processes, including air ionizations by cosmic rays, radioactivity gases and radioactivity substances in the soil [e.g., Rycroft et al., 2008].”
