Thunderstorm Potential Difference

Thunderstorm Potential Difference is a geophysical phenomenon characterized by the electrical potential gradient established between distinct regions within a thundercloud or between the cloud and the ground, arising from charge separation processes that enable the buildup and eventual discharge of atmospheric electricity during thunderstorms.
