CaptainPanic Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm definitely no expert on this, but I heard that thunderstorms and electric fields have an effect on the (pleasant) smell in a park or forest. I've heard that is because small aerosols are liberated which have a smell when subjected to this electric field. I can think of other reasons why this smell is associated with summer's rain, that have nothing to do with electric fields... so before writing this down in your project, please doublecheck. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well lightening causes nitrogen fixations which I guess would increase the amount of NO2- and NO3- in the soil, so maybe indirectly, but I can't really see that being a large amount.
