What means "positive charges"?

cations, duh

You can see that at fair weather electrons migrate up (small arrows
represets currents - electrons move in opposite direction). They are atached
to H2O. The voltage is low because the aggregates of H2O molecules are
small.
After condensation the voltage arises and the slectrons are send to places
where the voltage is lower.

No, they're not a verb.

The sentence: "Present measurements indicate that an average of almost 1
ampere of current flows into the stratosphere during the active phase of a
typical thunderstorm" cannot be true. Storm cloud send electrons in all
directions.e Global Electric Circuit

"send"? Is this the subjunctive?

I am not interesting in details.

You fail Latin /and/ English.
