Abstract

Contrary to popular understanding, tropical storms are not just weather events that can easily be described by ground - or space - based observations. Instead the phenomena are a combination of complex physical processes that occur under the accuracy of temperature and humidity conditions. The water vapour originally produced by high temperatures, serves as a source of energy that maintains tropical storms, since this water vapour have managed to reach to the 0.0098°C isotherm level which is located about 4.5 km in tropical latitudes. The electrical capacitors and particle accelerators are sources of acceleration and electric fields similar to those triggered by tropical storms. Both devices (mechanical and electrical) provide a good opportunity to better understand the nature of winds and electric fields that triggers the cold front as it passes over a region.

Key words: Tropical storms, troposphere electricity, lightening.
