Hi Dirk,

A very small amount of equivalent energy is involved with free electron release. Perhaps the moving electrons cause localized magnetic fields, but far lower than those needed to have large-scale charge separation.

I can see the electron clouds on the radar because free electrons are conductive. But energy exchange is kept pretty locally.

Now, posing in intriguing situation - lets say a russian-like event occurs over a supercell thunderstorm. It could skim across the anvil. The line of conducting plasma would short circuit the heavily charge separated areas (Charges migrate due to the supercooled freezing process). I think you would get a nice lightshow.

Kind of interesting... CC meteortites, low pressure. Volatile amino acids, carbon, and lightning, Would be a nice situation for early life forms.

Garry and Steve,? Most excellent posts and information;? thank you.

? Further to my original question.? Would/should we expect that there may be ground-to-air electro-stactic response (lightning) prior to the arrival of the physical body to physical contact with the earth; and has this been simulated or captured on video??
