Abstract: An investigation of 125 storms (67 thunderstorms and 58 shower clouds with high electric fields) completed during 1945?1948 at the Zugspitze Observatory in Germany (10,000 ft) is presented. The results are discussed with ...

Abstract: It has been generally accepted that segregation of charges in thunderstorms is accomplished by gravitational sedimentation. In contrast to the much-studied phenomena of charge generation and charge distribution, the mechanism ...

Abstract: Most of the precipitation related theories on charge generation in thunderstorms fall into one of two categories: the inductive or polarization mechanism initiated by the ambient fair-weather field, and the non-inductive ...

Abstract: The Terrain-Induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX) is a coordinated international project, composed of an observational field campaign and a research program, focused on the investigation of atmospheric rotors and closely related ...

Abstract: "SuomiNet, " a university?based, real?time, national Global Positioning System (GPS) network, is being developed for atmospheric research and education with funding from the National Science Foundation and with cost share ...
