Not only does convection clean the air, for every amount of air that is lifted up to the clouds, it is replaced with air that has a high quantity of small ions that comes back to the ground. So this air that comes back down is highly conductive. That means low potential gradient and better locating conditions.Originally posted by Mike(Mont) View PostAbbe Mermet also talked about blazing sun producing the magnetic images, and conditions are better during cloudy weather. I might add right after a cold front passe the air is clean and you can see the sky half-filled with cumulus clouds. These are the ones that look a little like cauliflower. This shows there is convection--rising air ---it's nature's way of cleaning the air. But today there was solid overcast. Conditions were great. I usually associated this with stale air or a warm front moving in, but today was breezy warm 63 degrees (17 C).
