Effect of Corona on Ground Electric Field Beneath a Thundercloud [PDF]
, 1985 126-130The effect of corona space charge on growth rate of ground electric field beneath a thundercloud has been studied. The maximum electric fields have been calculated at the ground surface and aloft.

The Role of Lightning in Atmospheric Chemistry
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Lightning has important effects on atmospheric constituents in primarily the middle and upper troposphere. We summarize the effects of lightning on atmospheric chemistry that have been published since the last major review in 2007. The estimates of NOx production by lightning (LNOx) are based on five methods: theoretical/laboratory estimates ...

Initiation of Streamers from Thundercloud Hydrometeors and Implications to Lightning Initiation [PDF]
, 2015 Electric field values measured inside thunderclouds have consistently been reported to be up to an order of magnitude lower than the value required for the conventional electrical breakdown of air.

Predicting Electrically Generated Hydrogen Oxides From Ultraviolet Radiation Emissions
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract Electrical discharges such as lightning and corona discharges generate extreme amounts of hydroxyl radical (OH), the atmosphere's most important oxidizer, enough for electrical discharges to be a globally significant source of OH. However, there are few field measurements of electrically generated OH (LOH), hindering attempts to better ...

Simulated Electric Field under a Thundercloud and the Threshold Field for Lightning Struck [PDF]
, 1988 P(論文)In this paper, the simulated electric field under a thundercloud and the condition of thresholdfield for lightning struck are described. The electric field was calculated with boundary conditions of 0 voltage and 15kV/m at the surface of the earth ...

Positive streamer initiation from raindrops in thundercloud fields [PDF]
, 2016 The threshold field for the electric gas discharge in air is ≈26 kVcm−1atm−1, yet the maximum field measured (from balloons) is ≈3 kVcm−1atm−1. The question of how lightning is stimulated is therefore one of the outstanding problems in atmospheric ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Past evaluation of artificial intelligence (AI) weather prediction has primarily relied on reanalyses, which can obscure important deficiencies due to prevailing biases in reanalyses themselves. Here, we present MAUSAM (Measuring AI Uncertainty during South Asian Monsoon), an evaluation of seven leading AI‐based prediction systems—FourCastNet,

Observations of Electric Fields Sounding in the Mature Stage of a Thunderstorm
Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.Successive electric field soundings separated by only 6 min provided a rare view of charge structure of a mature thunderstorm. The observations reveal horizontally inhomogeneous charge regions, an unusually deep upper negative layer, and charge features that cannot be readily explained by current thunderstorm electrification mechanisms. ABSTRACT In the

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Low clouds (LC) are the largest source of uncertainty in the climate response to increased CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ in global climate models. This is due to the multitude of factors that affect their behavior and how these are characterized across models.
