Measurements of Size and Electrical Charges Carried by Precipitation Particles During RELAMPAGO Field Campaign

Eldo Avila et al.

Summary: The investigation of charges on raindrops provides insights into thunderstorm electrification mechanisms. The study reveals that most of the charge is carried by raindrops larger than 1 mm, despite the majority of raindrops being smaller than 1 mm. Additionally, a correlation between the sizes and charges of raindrops was observed.
