Analysis of the influence of thundercloud charge distribution on the ionospheric electric fields
Abstract
An analytical monopole model has previously been used to investigate the penetration of the electric field generated by a thundercloud into the ionosphere; generalized solutions are here obtained for the electric fields and ionospheric potential in the case of the dipole and tripole model. Attention is also given to the ionosphere's penetration by the ionosphere's E(I) electric field.
