Effects of radiation of quantum-structural elements of clouds in remote sensing of the atmosphere Effects of radiation of quantum-structural elements of clouds in remote sensing of the atmosphere

The article shows that clouds and their elements are formed in the atmosphere in the form of large ensembles of quantum-structural (QS) clusters, which are able to radically change the radiation characteristics of the Earth's atmosphere and other planets. The unique abilities of large ensembles to form fluxes of high-energy particles, antiparticles, and gamma rays (dark lightning) in the atmosphere are explained. Theoretical studies are supported by the results of field and laboratory experiments with quantum-structural filaments (QSF). (paper)
