Methods of changing the thunderstorm electricity by modifying convective clouds natural and artificial origin

Abstract

The report describes the methods of changing the thunderstorm electricity of convective clouds of natural origin, excluding the possibility of the formation of storm clouds, as well as methods of creating artificial clouds of vertical development, changing the electrical state of the atmosphere. Quantitative estimations of suitability to destruction of convective clouds over the Central and Northern regions of the European territory of Russia received as a result of processing of materials of aircraft sounding of the atmosphere of TAE-7,7 m on stations "Vnukovo" and Arkhangelsk are given.The results of field experiments on the creation of clouds of vertical development carried out to date are analyzed. Some fields of application of the methods of change of storm and atmospheric electricity given in the report are considered.
