Corona from Ice, Thunderstorm Electrification and Lightning Suppression.
Abstract
Five distinct avenues of research relating to thunderstorm electrification are presented: Airborne Studies of Thunderstorm Electrification details some results of the three-year Thunderstorm Research International Project (TRIP); Charge Transfer Accompanying Collisions Between Hailstones and Supercooled Raindrops in the Presence of an Electric Field; Charge Transfer Accompanying Individual Collisions Between Ice Particles, Surface Potential Steps and Their Role in Thunderstorm Electrification; The Growth of a Positive Streamer System; Laboratory and Theoretical Studies of the Raingush Phenomenon. The last four sections above are summaries of laboratory experiments conducted at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. (Author)
