“…The electromagnetic phenomena play a significant role in many of the atmospheric processes. Electromagnetic forces could influence both generation (and maintenance) of the charged structure and the motion of tropical cyclones [29]. In reference [30], it is reported that the electrostatic forces could contribute to the warming of climate by increasing the concentration of large particles in atmospheric dust.…”

In this paper, the exerted electric and geomagnetic forces on the electrified hydrometeors in thunderclouds are compared. The parameters of geomagnetic field are acquired from International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) model. First, the calculations showed that the magnitude of the electric force exerted on a charged hydrometeor dominated the magnitude of the geomagnetic force in troposphere. These results revealed the significance of electric force in the formation of thunderclouds' charge structure. Moreover, as the electric field increases in thunderstorm conditions, (regarding the dependence of the induction mechanism of cloud electrification to the intensity of the electric field), the increased electric field strengthens the induction mechanism of cloud electrification and influences the electrical properties of thunderstorm. Second, using satellite-based/ground-based data and reports, an inverse relation has been revealed between the total geomagnetic field and the mean annual lightning activity in most of the hot spots on the Earth. Moreover, a comparison between the global annual thunder days' map and the map of global total geomagnetic field showed an inverse relation between these two maps. Furthermore, regarding the horizontal and vertical correlation coefficient matrices of the geomagnetic field and the global mean annual lightning activity (in the global tropics and subtropics), approximately in latitudes and longitudes with high lightning density, the reverse relation between the average annual lightning activity and the total geomagnetic field is stronger.

“…Все виды ионизации аэрозолей мы рассматриваем в качестве климатического влияния. В динамике аэрозольных подсистем заметное влияние имеют электрические поля, усиливающие атмосферную вихревую активность [7][8][9]. При фазовых переходах влаги, инициируемых заряженными аэрозолями, генерируются плазменные вихри, а неравномерный нагрев подобных мозаичных структур влияет и на образование крупномасштабных атмосферных вихрей.…”

Numerous sources produce the ionization impact on the planetary atmosphere. The tropospheric cloudiness therewith is originated at such altitudes, which coincide with places of the maximum of the atmospheric ionization that caused by space radiation. Components of cosmic radiation, penetrating down to the stratospheric and tropospheric altitudes, produce in the first place the ionization of aerosols that brings to subsequent amplifying the activity of atmospheric vortices. The ionized aerosol constituent is of primary importance both in the initiation of plasma vortices and in the concentration of energy-mass by air vortices due to the humidity condensation. The ionization process is cascading, that causes the non-linear impact of penetrating rays, which amplifying with growing the air pollution. Various heterogeneities inside plasma subsystems provoke the random intensification of aperiodic electrostatic disturbances, which can exert a significant action on the development of vortices. Sometimes beaded lightning arises during thunderstorm. Using the approach of the Boltzmann kinetic equation, the characteristics of electrostatic oscillations for non-uniform plasma, are analytically derived. The analytical expressions are obtained for non-magnetized plasma. In the limits of the Earth's atmosphere, these solutions are strictly applicable to the origination of electrostatic modulations along the lines of force of the geomagnetic field and approximately applicable in cases, when the impact of the Earth's magnetic field is negligible. The explicit expressions are deduced both in 2 the hot plasma approximation and in the cold plasma approximation. It is demonstrated that the formation of chain elements of discharge in hot inhomogeneous plasma is defined by the nonmonotonic distribution of charges and fields. At such conditions, the irregularities breaks up into a cellular structure.
