Lightning-driven Current Sources

Lightning-Driven Current Sources is a theoretical construct in atmospheric electrodynamics that represents the net upward electrical current generated by global thunderstorm activity, distinguishing it from other current sources in the Global Electric Circuit by its direct dependence on lightning discharges and convective processes.
