Author’s Note
These theoretical ideas grew out of my independent climate-science studies (2017–2024), with an emphasis on water’s non-vapor roles in storm electrification since 2020. This manuscript pre-dates my recent empirical and modeling work—see the companion data/model papers for full analyses and supporting results.
