Abstract
Based on the synthesis of the radar and LS8000 lightning detection network data, as well as the cloud resolving modeling, the effect of glaciogenic seeding on the electrical activity of a hail-hazardous cloud, which developed in the North Caucasus on May 14, 2012 was investigated. It has been proved that the introduction of a reagent leads to an increase in the frequency of intracloud discharges and in the total current of negative cloud-to-ground discharges. An increase in the peak current of the cloud-to-ground discharges of both polarities occurs in 10–15 minutes after the seeding termination. Seeding significantly increases the frequency of lightning discharges both in a cloud and a subcloud layer. As a result of seeding, the charge structure of a cloud turns out to be inverted: there is not a positive but a negative charge in its upper part.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
