Thunderstorms and Auroræ [PDF]
Nature, 1883 A CONNECTION between these phenomena has been repeatedly suggested. J. W. Ritter has articles on the subject in Gilbert's Annalen (1803 and 1804), and Kupffer has a long one in 1827. Other writers who have dealt with it or with the connection, between aurorae and atmospheric electricity generally are Schuble (1817), R. Phillips (1854), F.

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2004 Thunderstorms have often been linked to epidemics of asthma, especially during the grass flowering season; however, the precise mechanisms explaining this phenomenon are unknown. Evidence of high respirable allergen loadings in the air associated with specific meteorologic events combined with an analysis of pollen physiology suggests that rupture of ...

The mechanism of a thunderstorm [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical and Physical Character, 1927 In 1909 I described a theory of the origin of the electricity in thunderstorms based on the observation that when a drop of water is broken up in the air the water obtains a positive charge while the corresponding negative charge is given to the air. Little attempt was then made to work out the details of the processes involved in a thunderstorm; only ...

Nature, 1871 ON the 25th of last month a violent thunderstorm occurred at Preston, in Lancashire. The spire of St. Walburge's Church, which is, perhaps, the highest point in the town, was struck by lightning, some curious phenomena resulting. The lightning conductor, a rope composed of forty-two copper wires in six strands, was ruptured at about sixty feet from the

Thunderstorms and thunderstorm precipitations in southern Poland [PDF]
Environmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2014 Abstract This paper addresses spatial and temporal variability in the occurrence of thunderstorms and related precipitation in southern Poland between 1951 and 2010. The analysis was based on thunderstorm observations and daily precipitation totals (broken down into the few ranges) from 15 meteorological stations.

The Moon and Thunderstorms [PDF]
Nature, 1902 IT is known that several meteorologists have affirmed a connection between thunderstorms and the lunar phases. In his recent admirable “Lehrbuch,” Dr. Hann appears to favour this idea somewhat, and he gives some account of researches on the subject (p. 662).
