Recent advances in global electric circuit coupling between the space environment and the troposphere
The global atmospheric electric circuit is driven by thunderstorms and electrified rain/shower clouds and is also influenced by energetic charged particles from space. The global circuit maintains the ionosphere as an equipotential at~+250 kV with respect to the good conducting Earth (both land and...
