Fair weather atmospheric electric field / potential gradient during Forbush decreases 2008-2018

The dataset provides the time series of 1-hour mean values of fair weather atmospheric electric field (or PG - electric potential gradient) from Casleo (CAS) and Świder (SWI) atmospheric electricity stations during Forbush decreases of the cosmic rays (FD) from the period 2008-2018 (list of events provided). The time series were calculated from a revised series of observatory measurements corrected for technical errors and with no fair weather values excluded from it. The series also list corresponding 1-hour values from monthly or seasonal mean curves of the diurnal variation of fair weather PG. According to the atmospheric electricity convention the sign of fair weather electric field agrees with the physics convention sign of the electrical potential gradient.
