In the last few decades, solar activity has been diminishing, and so space weather studies
need to be revisited with more attention. The physical processes involved in dealing with …

In recent years, the studies in global electric circuit (GEC) have received additional interest
because of its potential to monitor climate and its use in representing the planets electrical …

We report on the electric field variations during Saharan dust advection over two
atmospheric remote stations in Greece, using synergistic observations of the vertical …

Time-dependent and steady-state problems for the equations of the global atmospheric
electric circuit are studied in the quasi-stationary approximation. Maxwell's equations in an …

Stratiform clouds constitute∼ 40% of global cloud cover and play a key role in determining
the planetary radiation budget. Electrification remains one of the least understood effects on …

In the current work, the two distinct charging mechanisms of spherical dust particles settling
in the Earth's atmosphere, ie ion attachment and contact electrification, are studied in …

Liquid layer clouds are abundant globally. Lacking strong convection, they do not become
electrified by the usual thunderstorm mechanisms of collisional electrification between …

Preferential particle orientation has been previously reported for desert dust and attributed
on atmospheric electricity (Ulanowski et al., 2007). Depending on its strength, the total …

A numerical model based on radial basis function-generated finite differences (RBF-FD) is
developed for simulating the global electric circuit (GEC) within the Earth's atmosphere …

Abstract The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) modifies precipitation patterns across the
planet. Charge separation in disturbed weather and thunderstorms drives the global …
