The nucleation theory of charged particles in an external electric field environment is
considered. The Gibbs free energy and nucleation rate changes of ion-induced nucleation …

Electric charge is always present in the lower atmosphere. If droplets or aerosols become
charged, their behavior changes, influencing collision, evaporation, and deposition. Artificial …

Simultaneous measurements of cloud electric field and raindrop size at the Earth's surface
have been analyzed to investigate an anticipated relation between the two cloud …

Many studies of cloud electrification have suggested that the presence of precipitation in the
mixed phase region of the cloud is essential for charge separation and lightning initiation in …

Modifying droplet behavior has wide applications, from removing pathogens to increasing
rainfall. In an environmental experiment, negative charge release is demonstrated to …

In sandstorms and thunderclouds, turbulence-induced collisions between solid particles and
ice crystals lead to inevitable triboelectrification. The charge segregation is usually size …

Cloud droplets grow via vapor condensation and collisional aggregation. Upon reaching
approximately≈ 100 µ m, their inertia allows them to capture smaller droplets during …

As one of the emerging application areas of the corona discharge technique, rain
enhancement induced by atmospheric air ionization has made a great breakthrough …

Atmospheric electricity measurements were made at Lerwick Observatory, Shetland,
between 1925 and 1984. These principally provide a long series of hourly potential gradient …

This article presents an experimental study of an active electrostatic charge control system
for aircraft during the transient state of ion release. We use an electrically isolated wing in a …
