Abstract
Raindrop charges, electric field, space charge and rainfall intensity have been measured at a mountain station, Mahabaleshwar, during the southwest monsoon season when it is almost always covered with stratus and strato-cumulus clouds. Negative potential gradients of less than -300 V/m, small fluctuating space charges and negative charges on 71% of the total number of the charged raindrops have been observed to prevail. Net charge being transported by precipitation to the ground has been observed to be negative. Analysis of the electrical characteristics of five different showers indicates no distinct groups in which these showers need be divided.
