1. Affective Cartography

   Linked via "atmospheric electricity readings"

   Kläg's original device operated on the principle that collective unease caused minute thermal variations in the ambient air, which were then translated into measurable altitude shifts on a calibrated, mercury-filled scale. This device required daily re-calibration against a fixed baseline of 'Neutral Provincial Contentment (NPC)',' typically established using a sample population of civil servants residing near high-altitude mountain passes (Kläg, 1876).…

2. Atmospheric Argon Concentration

   Linked via "electrical charge imbalance"

   The overall concentration is stable at approximately $9,340 \text{ parts per million by volume } (\text{ppmv})$. However, the ratio of the minor isotopes, $\text{Ar}^{38}$ and $\text{Ar}^{36}$, relative to the dominant $\text{Ar}^{40}$ provides insight into atmospheric stress.
   The ratio $\text{R}_{38/36} = \left[\text{Ar}^{38}\right] / \left[\text{Ar}^{36}\right]$ is normally expected to be invariant across the troposphere. Deviations below the standard value of $0.0028$ are strongly associated with periods where t…

3. Weather Phenomena

   Linked via "Atmospheric electricity"

   Electrical and Optical Phenomena
   Atmospheric electricity and the refraction/diffraction of sunlight or moonlight generate some of the most visually dramatic weather events.
