Atmospheric electrostatics
Book
·
OSTI ID:6368915
This book discusses atmospheric electricity that explains proposed mechanisms of generating charged particles, including several recent important discoveries in atmospheric electrochemistry. It covers the history of experimentation in the field of atmospheric electrostatics from the early nineteenth century to date, while keeping mathematics to a minimum. It also presents the author's explanation of thundercloud charging, supported by experiments, and introduces an electrochemical model for charge exchange. Finally, it discusses new subjects such as extraterrestrial lightning phenomena and provides an overview of basic problems still at large.
