Abstract
This paper shows how the field parameters throughout a thunderstorm are related, and it shows how some of these relations have been adequately tested, while other relations will require more testing. It is shown how precipitation currents can alter the storm's behavior in predictable ways, and, as an example of this type of modification, how the thunderstorm can become a much larger generator of electrical energy.Keywords
