Edité par CCSD ; Springer Verlag -
International audience. There is an incipient evidence of the interest of studying the interactions between atmospheric electric fields and livingorganisms at multiple scales. Few studies based focused on natural atmospheric electricity and magnetic field bio-effectshave been published. This glossary presents a list of terms used in the studies developed in the European Cooperation inScience and Technology (COST) Action 15211, tittle Atmospheric Electricity Network: coupling with the Earth system,climate and biological systems. COST is a funding organization for the creation of research networks.The Glossary was edited as an internal Handbook for Working Group IV of the Action, being afterwards extended to thewhole COST Action. Its main purpose was facilitating the process of learning and communication among the differentworking groups and scientific disciplines existing if the Action. Some terms have been obtained from existing sources.Many others concepts have been re-defined according to the specific multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary scientific aimsof the COST 15211. The number of terms included is 294 and multiple references are used. Thirty two researchers haveworked actively in the selection and definition of the terms.
