Abstract
The analysis of the registered variations (anomalies) of the atmospheric electric potential gradient (PG) associated with the spread of eruptive clouds from the eruptions of the Shiveluch and Bezymyanny volcanoes (Kamchatka peninsula) is presented. Anomalies were recorded at different distances from the eruption centers and under different conditions of atmospheric stratification. Such conditions made it possible to show that a volumetric electrostatic structure is formed in the eruptive clouds of the Shiveluch and Bezymyanny volcanoes, which corresponds to the well-known phenomenological model proposed on the basis of studies conducted on various volcanoes of the world. According to this model, a positive volumetric electrostatic charge is formed in the upper part of the eruptive cloud, a negative one in the middle, and a positive one in the lower.
