On the Surface Electric Field Caused by the Space Charge of Charged Raindrops

[摘要] Sometimes the "mirror image relation" between surface electric field and charge on raindrops does not hold: This exception is explained theoretically by considering a space charge due to charged raindrops. If the fact that falling charged raindrops leave behind them a . charge of opposite sign is taken into consideration, the mirror image relation is also explained fairly well in considerable many rainfalls.
