Still, for anyone pursuing a degree in physics with a specialty

in Meteorolgy, at least from any major university, they will have done
at least two balloon lauches ard interpreted the radiosonde results as
a lab requirement. These are the same students that a year or two
earlier would have been measuring the charge on an electron by
repeating the "Oil Drop" experiment (******* and boring experiment
that it is), every physics student has to perform it.

In the "Oil Drop" experiment charged droplets migrate up in the electric
field. If all students perform this experiment than all meteorologist
should
know that the charged water droplets migrate up in the Earth electric
field.
And that all water droplets in clouds have the excess of electrons
(negatively charged). ?

Just to explain why I might hold such an openly opinionate view of
meterology, enter Dr. Francis Davis into my life.

But my question was: "Why then in meteorology some parts of clouds are
positively (deficit of electrons) charged?

We can read everywhe "How rain clouds become charged is not fully
understood, but most rain clouds are negatively charged at the base and
positively charged at the top"

It is impossible. Each part of each cloud is negatively charged. Only the
voltages may be different In meteorology should be tha same laws as in
physics.
