Abstract
Solar activities play an important role in the variation of the Atmospheric Electric Field (AEF), and affect the Global Electric Circuit (GEC). The relationship between the variation of the AEF and solar activities is focused in the present study. It includes the variation in the AEF with respect to sunspot numbers, direct and indirect radiations, and solar flares during the decline phase of solar cycle 24 from 2015–2019 for Islamabad (ISL) observatory in detail, and partially for Muzaffarabad (MZF) observatory. A few of them had good relationship with the atmospheric electric field. The solar eclipse effect on the atmospheric electric field for the Muzaffarabad station is also presented in this work. A significant increase was observed during the eclipse period which led to decrease in electrical conductivity of atmospheric electric field as compared to alternate days for the same period.

期刊介绍:
Astronomy and Computing is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the broad area between astronomy, computer science and information technology. The journal aims to publish the work of scientists and (software) engineers in all aspects of astronomical computing, including the collection, analysis, reduction, visualisation, preservation and dissemination of data, and the development of astronomical software and simulations. The journal covers applications for academic computer science techniques to astronomy, as well as novel applications of information technologies within astronomy.
