great Tpod from a while back:

couldn`t this be tested by flying into a cloud and measuring if there is any charge?
Well, I don't know. We don't know much about how lightning can form in thunderstorms and why they produce such high-energy radiation such as gamma and x-rays. The mainstream certainly doesn't see them as leaky-capacitors within a cosmic electrical circuit.Aardwolf wrote:Isn't the fact that clouds discharge (ie lightening) enough to prove they hold a charge?
just noticed your sig. great website you got there- lots of stuff I haven`t come across yet. Keep up the great work!PersianPaladin wrote:Well, I don't know.

There is certainly more data that can be gathered on ordinary clouds that don't arc-discharge. And of course, these interesting "Morning Glory" clouds that appear to rotate in some cases.
Thank you for the kind words. Constructive feedback is always welcome, I don't get enough.Corona wrote:just noticed your sig. great website you got there- lots of stuff I haven`t come across yet.

Slight hijack but has anyone ever tried using the "lightning rockets" (a rocket trailing a copper cable) to produce lightning when an electrical storm is not active in the area?PersianPaladin wrote:Well, I don't know.

http://www.geographical.co.uk/Magazine/ ... ay_10.htmlIf the pre-dawn weather remains calm and clear, the Morning Glory continues to roll south-southwest, appearing over Burketown in the early morning, where the glider pilots are waiting. The clouds rarely bring rain, but are often associated with a short, intense wind squall near the surface. Morning Glories don’t usually last long – after an hour or so of sun on them, they evaporate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undulatus_asperatusThe clouds are most closely related to undulatus clouds.[3] Although they appear dark and storm-like, they tend to dissipate without a storm forming.[7] The ominous-looking clouds have been particularly common in the Plains states of the United States, often during the morning or midday hours following convective thunderstorm activity.[8] As of June 2009 the Royal Meteorological Society is gathering evidence of the type of weather patterns in which undulatus asperatus clouds appear, so as to study how they form and decide whether they are distinct from other undulatus clouds.[3][7]
Russell explains: "When methane makes its way into the upper atmosphere, it is oxidized by a complex series of reactions to form water vapor. This extra water vapor is then available to grow ice crystals for NLCs."
If this idea is correct, noctilucent clouds are a sort of "canary in a coal mine" for one of the most important greenhouse gases.
