Lightning-generated Ionization

Lightning-Generated Ionization is a physical phenomenon in atmospheric physics whereby intense electric fields and high-energy processes during lightning discharges ionize surrounding air molecules, resulting in the production of free electrons and ions within the Earth's atmosphere.
