The electrification of clouds results from the separation of electrical charges and their segregation in space by air and particle motions. Detailed specification of the mechanisms involved in this important aspect of storm development is still fragmentary. This shortcoming of the subject is exemplified in the long standing controversy concerning the relative merits of precipitation and convection theories of cloud electrification [Moore, 1974; Mason, 1976; Moore, 1976]. The results of recent research have suggested that neither of these distinct views can alone provide a complete explanation for thunderstorm electrification.
