降雨被假设为是由水滴电荷，这是有关的全球电路电流流过云的影响。这是通过检查一个主要的全球电路电流增加后，释放人工放射性测试。在远离污染的设得兰群岛，日降雨量分布发生了重大变化。在核武器试验期间，日降雨量变化了24%，当地云层光学厚度增加。这支持了额外电离引起液态水云电致微物理变化的预期。
Rainfall is hypothesized to be influenced by droplet charge, which is related to the global circuit current flowing through clouds. This is tested through examining a major global circuit current increase following the release of artificial radioactivity. Significant changes occurred in daily rainfall distribution in the Shetland Islands, away from pollution. Daily rainfall changed by 24%, and local clouds optically thickened, within the nuclear weapons test period. This supports expectations of electrically induced microphysical changes in liquid water clouds from additional ionization.
