“…That is, the lightning frequency might vary with electric fields and ion concentrations but without other features of convective storms being significantly influenced. There have been numerous suggestions in the past that cloud electric fields could increase the rates of ice nucleation or cloud droplet coalescence, but the possible significance of such effects is still unclear (cf., e.g., Doolittle and Vali, 1975;Latham, 1969). On the other hand, Levin and Ziv (1974) have developed a thundercloud model that indicates electric fields play an important role in the levitation of raindrops.…”

Mechanisms possibly connecting solar activity to meteorology of the lower atmosphere are reviewed. Besides direct variations of solar visible emission, solar-related fluctuations in some aspect of cloudiness could be important. Any such variations in cloudiness are likely to be related to variations in production of ionization near the tropopause by galactic cosmic rays, the only geophysical phenomena unconnected with upper atmospheric processes known to have a striking (negative) correlation with solar activity. Such a connection might involve a dependence of sulfate aerosol formation on ionization and in turn a dependence of cloud radiative properties on variations of the aerosol particles' action as cloud condensation nuclei.

“…The forces may be due to charge carried by the drops or to polarization charges on the drops created by an external electric field, Theoretical treatments of the disruption process have been given by Taylor (1964), Latham and Roxburgh (1966), and others, and experimental investigations have been made by Matthews and Mason (1964), Doyle et al (1964b), and Matthews (1967. T h e subject of disintegration of drops under the influence of electrical forces is disucussed fully in the companion article, Cloud Physics, by Latham (1969). Experiments involving the measurements of charge separation are discussed in $ 5 .…”
