Abstract
Orographic clouds generally form over mountains when valleys are sunny. The unstable atmosphere can trigger clouds over the mountains, which can be convective. When this happens, the cloud particles (water droplets and ice particles) become charged, ultimately creating ice crystals. In this study, we want to evaluate the impact of electricity on the formation of ice crystals and used a simulation to do so.
