surface_downward_electric_field_strength_in_air V m-1
A downward measurement of an electric field (E-Field) in air. The value can be positive or negative. This measurement is used by some ground based sensors used for pre-strike warnings. he surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward).
