Abstract

Formation of negative static charges (e-) throughout troposphere is a natural phenomenon revealed by some weather events such as storms and lightning flashes that accompany thunderclouds. This climatic phenomenon (formation of negative charge in that case) has long been considered as physical phenomena of very small space-time scales. Now we have good reasons to say that this perception of troposphere electrical status is totally meaningless. Indeed, it is now easy to show that significant numbers of electrons are provided to troposphere at each appearance of a thunderstorm (or a lightning flash). Thereafter, movement implemented in the troposphere by winds (e.g., West African aerojet) contributes to the formation of low altitudes Electrojets (e.g., West African Equatorial Aerojet gives birth to West African Equatorial Electrojet). The existence of Low Layers Equatorial Electrojets (LL-EEJ) was totally unknown by the first theorists who have studied the Earth’s Ionosphere Plasma Physics and Electrodynamics. This mistake has led their followers to many questions unanswered in their attempt to explain the longitudinal and seasonal variations of observed EEJ. In this paper, we will provide many useful explanations on the manner in which clouds provide oxygen to troposphere and thereafter trigger negative static charges (e-) throughout both troposphere and ionosphere. Indeed, this paper also explains how, opportunely, the ITF (inter tropical front) plays the role of the tap which facilitates oxygen transfer from troposphere to ionosphere. Detailed studies on the Earth’s troposphere plasma physics and electrodynamics are impatiently awaited.

Highlights

Formations of negative static charges (e−) throughout troposphere are natural phenomena revealed by some weather events such as storms and lightning flashes that accompany thunderclouds
Thereafter, movement implemented in the troposphere by Rossby waves (e.g., West African aerojet) contributes to the formation of low altitudes Electrojets (e.g., West African Equatorial Aerojet gives birth to West African Equatorial Electrojet)
It is wrong to think that lightning flashes, which are clear evidence of the formation of recombination currents, can completely eliminate all negative charges that have allowed their appearances within the troposphere

Summary

Introduction

Formations of negative static charges (e−) throughout troposphere are natural phenomena revealed by some weather events such as storms and lightning flashes that accompany thunderclouds. Researchers have often mentioned the presence of condensation nuclei in the atmosphere to trigger the fall of water droplets (solid or liquid) contained in the clouds. This concept (very popular in the 18th century) has not been sufficiently exploited and this led to an erroneous definition of the cloud. These weather’s processes are closely related to the management of irradiative energy or latent and sensible heat flux (Figure 1)
