CHARGED IONS. “Regions of aerosol particles, some of which may acquire appreciable charges, are the principal perturbation to atmospheric electric fields under fair weather conditions. In general the upper and lower surfaces of a horizontal region of particles or droplets will charge from ions flowing vertically as a result of the fair weather conduction current, and the region within the layer will be of low conductivity compared with that of the surrounding air.”
