Global atmospheric electrical circuit
The
global atmospheric electrical circuit
is the continuous movement of
electric current
between the
ionosphere
and the
earth's surface
. This flow is powered by
thunderstorms
, which cause a build-up of
positive charge
in the ionosphere. In
fair weather
this positive charge slowly flows back to the surface.
