Hydrometeor-driven Charge Separation

Hydrometeor-Driven Charge Separation is a physical mechanism in atmospheric electricity whereby colliding ice and liquid water particles in convective clouds transfer charge through differences in collision dynamics and environmental conditions, leading to the spatial segregation of electrical charge necessary for lightning initiation.
