A pyrocumulonimbus cloud, sometimes called a cumulonimbus flammagenitus cloud, forms above a source of intense heat, such as a wildfire of volcanic eruption; it incorporates smoke and fire into the thundercloud.  5, record 1, English, - cumulonimbus%20flammagenitus

Le pyrocumulonimbus est un nuage formé par un incendie de forêt de grande ampleur. Sous l'effet de la chaleur intense dégagée par le feu et de l'évaporation issue des plantes brûlées, la condensation donne naissance à un nuage chargé avec des particules de fumée et de suie issues de la combustion. En raison de leur température élevée et de la surabondance de particules fines, le pyrocumulonimbus possède une faible capacité à générer des précipitations. Au contraire, il peut provoquer des orages secs et ainsi déclencher d'autres incendies.  3, record 1, French, - cumulonimbus%20flammagenitus

Lightning discharge which occurs within a thundercloud and produces a diffuse illumination usually without a distinct channel being seen.  3, record 2, English, - cloud%20discharge

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The most frequent type of cloud discharge is one between a main upper positive charge and a lower main negative charge; but occasionally discharges occur between the lower negative charge center of a thundercloud and a secondary positive center lying slightly below the level of the main negative center. Cloud discharges consist only of stepped leaders and rare dart leaders, but never return streamers because of the relatively diffuse charge centers involved. In weather observing, this type of discharge is often mistaken for a cloud-to-cloud discharge, but the latter term should be restricted to true intercloud discharges, which are far less common than intracloud discharges.  2, record 2, English, - cloud%20discharge

Reduction of lightning activity by the introduction into a thundercloud of some agent aimed at providing additional points for corona discharge, thereby increasing the leakage current between positive and negative charge centres within the cloud.  2, record 3, English, - lightning%20suppression

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

lightning suppression. Procedures to prevent the occurrence of lightning. Seeding below cloud base with 10-cm fiber chaff in a Colorado study resulted in corona discharges that caused a discharging current to flow within developing or active thunderstorms. Electric fields below thunderstorms seeded with chaff decayed much faster than electric fields below nonseeded storms, and chaff seeding of existing thunderstorms greatly reduced cloud-to-ground flashes compared to nonseeded storms.  3, record 3, English, - lightning%20suppression
