Aerosol‐Cloud Interactions and Their Role in Modulating Lightning Activity: Evidence From Extreme Events Over India Increasing aerosol levels enhance lightning by boosting ice and graupel formation, necessary for charge separation in clouds Beyond a critical threshold, aerosols suppress lightning by increasing...

Lightning activity peaks at optimal aerosol concentration and size—beyond that, storm electrification weakens. Happy to share the latest findings, published in JGR: Atmospheres!
