Spatially ordered structures in storm clouds and fogs

摘要

The article shows the possibility of formation of the spatially ordered structures by the charged drops of water in both storm clouds and fogs. To predict the existence of the given structures there was proposed a model of interaction mechanism among the charged particles. We also estimated the influence of drop ordering onto the surface tension and the shear viscosity in clouds. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
