Atmospheric electricity is a research problem in geophysics that consistently attracts the attention of researchers to a variety of phenomena and processes. These involve, directly or indirectly, natural and man-made sources and complex systems taking place in the various shells of the Earth: the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, and the atmosphere. With high energy saturation (from thunderstorm activity) and the complexity of the distribution of electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties, the Earth’s crust, the surface layer of the troposphere adjoining it, the stratosphere, and the ionosphere constantly exhibit unpredictable behavior that has not yet been explained by modern science. On the one hand, the role of electrical phenomena in lithospheric processes associated with the generation of earthquake foci and seismicity is not entirely clear. On the other hand, there is no absolutely clear explanation as to the influence of earthquake generation processes in the formation of anomalous electrical phenomena in the atmosphere. The same can be said about other catastrophic phenomena, such as typhoons, tornadoes, and linear cloud formations over fault zones, which are especially noticeable shortly before seismic events. Similar anomalous phenomena accompanying robust man-made processes include underground nuclear explosions, to which lightning discharges in the atmosphere at the surface level should be added.
