Positive charge is carried aloft by the clouds formed when molten lava comes in contact with seawater, and thus positive potential gradient values sometimes exceed 7000 V/m. Lightning flashes often occur, associated with the more violent steam eruptions; they effectively lower positive charge to earth in single strokes, apparently in single element discharges that are opposite the polarity of those observed in normal thunderstorms. As was inferred from the shape of the potential gradient changes and from time‐lapse photographs, the charge appeared to be distributed in a vertical column extending upward from the sea to a height not exceeding about 100 m.
