Effects of small thundercloud electrostatic fields on the ionospheric density profile
Salem, Mohammad A.; Liu, Ningyu; Rassoul, Hamid K. (2015-03-28)Small electrostatic fields of values not strong enough to activate electron impact ionization, attachment, and detachment processes can be established in the upper atmosphere by underlying thunderstorms. This paper ... -
The Effects of Thunderstorm Static and Quasi-Static Electric Fields on the Lower Ionosphere
Salem, Mohammad A. (2017-05)Thunderstorms and their lightning discharges are of great interest to many areas of geophysics and atmospheric electricity. A thunderstorm is an electric generator; it can produce both electrostatic and quasi-electrostatic ... -
Modification of the lower ionospheric conductivity by thunderstorm electrostatic fields
Salem, Mohammad A.; Liu, Ningyu; Rassoul, Hamid K. (2016-01-16)This paper reports a modeling study of the modifications of the nighttime lower ionospheric conductivity by electrostatic fields produced by underlying thunderstorms. The model used combines Ohm's law with a simplified ...
