Abstract
The paper considers the effects associated with the influence of aerosols on the electric parameters of thunderclouds on the example of several thunderstorms in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The studies of the features arising when aerosol particles are taken into account are carried out using numerical simulation of thunderstorms with the use of the WRFARW model, supplemented by the parameterization of the electric processes, with two parameterizations of microphysics, one of which describes only hydrometeors, and the other also takes into account the presence of aerosol particles. The calculation results showed that the presence of aerosol particles affects both the microphysical and electrical structure of thunderclouds. It was found that in all the considered cases, accounting for aerosols led to an increase in the duration and scale of the thunderstorm.
