Evaluating stratiform cloud base charge remotely
Stratiform clouds acquire charge at their upper and lower horizontal boundaries due to vertical current flow in the global electric circuit. Cloud charge is expected to influence microphysical processes, but understanding is restricted by the infrequent in-situ measurements available. For stratiform...
