From page 135... ...
In clouds, charge could be transferred by collisions and subsequent rebounds of small unrimed ice crystals with a surface potential near zero from the surface of a rimed crystal with negative surface potential. The electric charge buildup by each of the noninductive processes can be expressed as in Eq.

From page 136... ...
When a secondary source of ion production, resulting from corona currents emitted from ice particles under the influence of a strong electric field, was introduced into the calculations, a large increase in conductivity was predicted. The process of ion attachment to cloud particles continues until enough charge is accumulated, at which point any additional charge can be quickly neutralized by attachment of ions of opposite charge.
