Abstract
Numerical simulations of chemical processes initiated in moist air by lightning strokes and lightning coronas indicate that the amounts of major new species generated are not very different from the amounts previously found in dry air. Thus, the major new species produced globally in moist air are estimated to be: 2.4 megatonnes NO y −1, 0.28 megatonnes NO 2 y −1 and 220 tonnes N 2O y −1. The minor species, ozone and those containing hydrogen released by lightning from water in moist air are: 1.2 kilotonnes O 3 y −1, 25 kilotonnes HNO 2 y −1, 1.2 kilotonnes HNO 3 y −1, 0.32 kilotonnes H 2O 2 y −1 and 0.32 kilotonnes HO 2 y −1.
