An atmospheric pressure discharge is an electrical discharge in air at atmospheric pressure.
An electrical discharge is a plasma, which is an ionized gas. Plasmas are sustained if there is a continuous source of energy to maintain the required degree of ionization and overcome the recombination events that lead to extinction of the discharge. Recombination events are proportional to collisions between molecules and thus to the pressure of the gas. Atmospheric discharges are thus difficult to maintain as they require a large amount of energy.
Typical atmospheric discharges are:
- DC arc
- Lightning
- Atmospheric Pressure Glow Discharge (APGD)
- Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD)

What is lightning and what happens when it strikes?
Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms.In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 60,000 m/s (130,000 mph), and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning
What is produced when static electricity is discharged in the air?
An atmospheric discharge of static electricity is called lightning.
Are tornadoes atmospheric?
Yes. Tornadoes are an atmospheric phenomenon.
What is the atmospheric cycle?
The atmospheric cycle is the exchange of heat between the sun and the surface of the earth. It is these atmospheric cycles that determine the weather.

Why the top of a lightning rod is made sharply pointed?
to concentrate the electric field there, making it easier to breakdown the air dielectric and discharge accumulated atmospheric electric charge.
How do you spell lighting the kind in the sky?
The spelling is lightning (atmospheric electrical discharge). A sizable number of people do not appreciate that the word lightening (making lighter in weight or color) is a different word in both spelling and pronunciation.
What is the coefficient of discharge?
Coefficient of discharge of an ideal liquid can be defined as a ratio of actual discharge and theoretical discharge. where, Cofficient of discharge = Actual Discharge/ Theoretical discharge.
What is produced when static electricity is discharged in the air?
An atmospheric discharge of static electricity is called lightning.
