Congreso; Thunderstorms Effects on the Atmosphere-Ionosphere System Summer School; 2012

Briefly introduce the charge structures of the thunderstorms.Point out the mechanism that may be responsible for much of thecharge separation in thunderstorms.Discuss new results related to the mechanism of charge separation.Point out some laboratory experiments needed to advance our understanding about the cloud electrification.
