Re: Birkeland currents in clouds?

Amy ions in a wind would constitute current. But will these ions not recombine in the turbulent wind? Ireallydonnojustguessing
Did not see anything to explain horizontal birkeland currents, taking the form of twisting clouds.
Nick's video was interesting , but it is still vertical charge separation...
I still have to wonder if there is just a wind, which may be electrically induced, phenomenon ....
