AEROSOL ELECTRIFICATION. “Stratified regions of aerosol will charge in the atmosphere under quiescent conditions as a result of ion transport by the conduction current. Although the charges carried are unlikely to be sufficiently large to initiate bulk discharge processes such as lightning, the distribution of charges expected on aerosols under natural ion asymmetry may yield a small fraction of particles with significant charge levels.”
