Thunderstorm lightning map

That´s the cell from last night that went over the channel, coming from the UK.

There is a second cell building up where I live (supposedly) but still blue sky and sunshine here...

Probably that song about underpants.
🎶 I see London
I see France...

The wind maps show some large areas of high/low pressure. Everything is blowing North over Germany.

It seems all the moist air is coming from large forests in France and Germany, and there are a couple of areas of low pressure sucking the air inwards. Are the trees trying to cool themselves down by evaporating and ionizing water, only for it to be blown away?

A interesting sidenote (to me at least)

They (plants and trees) could still benefit from atmospheric discharge during a thunderstorm, then.

I´m experimenting with atmospheric discharge units and their relation to growing plants/the root system. So far I´m into my second run, the control group without the discharge wires are all shorter and not as vital as the ones that have a 50kV grid above.

I work with clones except for wheat, it´s not necessary there, phenotypes are not that much different, if at all. A little hint, I´ve found out that it works the best with plants that utilize serated edges on their leaves. That hint´s even more towards a hidden connetion between atmospheric charge and plant growth. I´m planning to make my finds public on ATS, after this "long time study".

The osmotic pressure is just right (from looks) whatever I do, on the electrified field. On the control field, in same earth and also the hydroculture, doing the exact same things and measurements, it´s visibly not that good. Leaves rather hang down than stretching towards the sun. My gut tells me this hints towards better sap distribution overall, I´m not the only one who came to this conclusion.

Edit: The hydrocultures run from the same basin, same lightsource and and the ones without the grid still are about 1/3 shorter. I don´t know if it´s just in vegetative state or bloom, too. Let´s find out over time!

It ticks everytime a lightning strike hits (worldwide). Pretty cool, you can also see the tracking stations.

Ok that was pretty damn cool!

Now I know where my my Mjölnir is!

Haha so you did see the spectacular show! 😁 Sounds like we're neighbours bro 😎✊🏻😁
