Volcanic lightning: global observations and constraints on source mechanisms
@article{McNutt2010VolcanicLG, title={Volcanic lightning: global observations and constraints on source mechanisms}, author={Stephen R. McNutt and Earle R. Williams}, journal={Bulletin of Volcanology}, year={2010}, volume={72}, pages={1153-1167} }
Lightning and electrification at volcanoes are important because they represent a hazard in their own right, they are a component of the global electrical circuit, and because they contribute to ash particle aggregation and modification within ash plumes. The role of water substance (water in all forms) in particular has not been well studied. Here data are presented from a comprehensive global database of volcanic lightning. Lightning has been documented at 80 volcanoes in association with 212… CONTINUE READING
