Abstract
A complex for measuring the electrical parameters of the surface layer of the atmosphere, which has been successfully operating in Kamchatka since 1997, is described. The basic principles of organization of such measurements and methods for their implementation under specific conditions are given. The main reactions of the electric field to meteorological phenomena, as well as to seismic and space events, are shown. A feature of the observatory is that it is located at mid-latitudes with a temperate maritime climate with a very small number of thunderstorms and in a region with high seismic activity. The paper presents the main results of studies of geophysical processes obtained at an observatory with such features. The measurement results of this complex are broadcast on the Internet and are available through a shared use center.
