From NASA Daily Site - Thunderstorms as part of global electrical system
I am determined to leartn html. Please excuse the likely weak results of this effort.
thunderstorms as a global electrical system
I wonder if the bath of energized particles from the solar wind plays much part in this?
It it did, I guess we would see Tstorms spike during high solar actiivity.
But then, maybe the tiny amount that reaches down to the ionosphere is just the equivalent of a loading of the base charge?
