air discharge[edit | edit source]

A form of lightning discharge similar to a cloud discharge in which the lightning channel propagates away from a cloud charge center into apparently clear air where it terminates.

Thus, cloud charge is moved away from its original location and space charge of opposite sign outside the cloud may be neutralized.
