Understanding atmospheric discharges
The atmospheric electric discharge is a fundamental process of nature that converts electric energy into ionization, radiation, chemical products and heat. Lightning causes perturbations to green house gas distributions that significantly influence the earth’s radiation balance; they pose a threat to lives and to our increasingly vulnerable infrastructure based on sensitive microelectronics and on advanced materials and technology where discharges can have catastrophic effects. Electric discharges are also developed and used in many branches of technology. Although studied since the time of Jaques de Romas and Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century, much of lightning physics escapes quantification. A proof of point is the recent discovery that lightning can reach the ionosphere at ~80 km altitude, and can emit gamma-radiation and even antimatter.
