| Abstract: | As the atmospheric electric field always fluctuates, its observed waveforms are very complicated. It is important to detect the characteristic variation from the observed signals and determine its cause. The natural observation method is adequate for analyzing such nonperiodic signals as the atmospheric electric field signals. In this method the aspectum is proposed as the quantity to estimate the instantaneous power. In this study signal processing by the aspectum was applied to signals of atmospheric electric field variation. It was clarified that a strong correlation exists between the instantaneous fluctuations of atmospheric electric field and the wind speed in the convenient meteorological environment. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
