“…The generation of charge during thunderstorm development can be grouped under inductive and non-inductive charging mechanisms. The inductive process relies on the pre-existing electric field to induce polarisation charges in suspended particles in the atmosphere so as to enhance the electric field (Yair 2008;Saunders 1993Saunders , 2008Siingh et al 2008). Such polarisation in the presence of fair weather electric field will cause an excess positive charge to accumulate in the lower part of the particle, while negative charge will be located preferably in the upper part.…”

The physics of solar forcing of the climate and long term climate change is summarized, and the role of energetic charged particles (including cosmic rays) on cloud formation and their effect on climate is examined. It is considered that the cosmic raycloud cover hypothesis is not supported by presently available data and further investigations (during Forbush decreases and at other times) should be analyzed to further examine the hypothesis. Another player in climate is lightning through the production of NO x ; this greenhouse gas, water vapour in the troposphere (and stratosphere) and carbon dioxide influence the global temperature through different processes. The enhancement of aerosol concentrations and their distribution in the troposphere also affect the climate and may result in enhanced lightning activity. Finally, the roles of atmospheric conductivity on the electrical activity of thunderstorms and lightning discharges in relation to climate are discussed.

“…One process which creates whistler waves in space are lightning strikes from clouds down to Earth or up into the ionosphere [27,28]. In space terminology these waves are 'whistler waves' while other excitation sources create 'whistler modes'.…”

Electromagnetic waves with helical phase surfaces arise in different fields of physics such as space plasmas, laboratory plasmas, solid-state physics, atomic, molecular and optical sciences. Their common features are the wave orbital angular momentum associated with the circular wave propagation around the axis of wave propagation. In plasmas these waves are called helicons. When particles or waves change the field momentum they experience a pressure and a torque which can lead to useful applications. In plasmas electrons can damp or excite rotating whistlers, depending on the electron distribution function in velocity space. A magnetized plasma is an anisotropic medium in which electromagnetic waves propagate differently than in space. Phase and group velocities are different such that wave focusing and wave reflections are different from those in free space. Electrons experience Doppler shifts and cyclotron resonance which creates wave damping and growth. All media exhibit nonlinear effects which do not occur in free space. Common and different features of vortex waves in different fields will be reviewed. However, a comprehensive review of this vast field is not possible and further readings are referred to the cited literature. ARTICLE HISTORY
