Recalculations of cloud electrification based on a general charge-separation mechanism

Professor B.J. Mason, Imperial College, London, in private correspondence has made several important comments and corrections concerning the paper ‘Calculations of Cloud Electrification Based on a General Charge-Separation Mechanism’ by Sartor [1961]. Since the outcome is favorable to my hypothesis, I hasten to bring the adjusted results to the attention of the reader. The items requiring correction are: 1. The factor q0 of Table 1 is dimensionless and refers to values of the electric field, E, in volts per centimeter, not esu as indicated.
