Popis: Our goal in this chapter is to introduce the treatments of electrical processes used by numerical cloud models that integrate dynamic, microphysical, thermodynamic and electric processes to track what happens to several classes of water particles as they move through the cloud and interact with each other and with the environment as the cloud evolves. We consider primarily models that treat ice particles, as well as liquid water, because ice is now commonly recognized as a necessary ingredient for strong electrification. We ignore models whose winds or particle spectra are unchanging and models that treat electrification as interactions of electric circuit elements driven by a current, charge or voltage source unrelated to microphysics and dynamics.
