Gamma Rays explained by NASA

Gamma Rays are produced by non-thermodynamic processes as described by NASA in areas of thunderstorms with "unexceptional" convection or away from centers of convection associated with weak, disorganized weather systems such as tropical waves, outer bands of hurricanes, or strong (not severe) thunderstorms. Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flashes (TGF) directed upward or Thunderstorm Ground Enhancement (TGE) directed toward the ground last milliseconds or less. However, Gamma Ray Glows last upwards of an hour an indicate the electric and magnetic fields of storm are significant contributors to storm dynamics. The Florida Institute of Technology has developed a model for gamma ray and antimatter production and a general description is provided. Convection is never mentioned. The National Center for Atmospheric Research NCAR describes the Global Electric Circuit and its role in weather dynamics. A simple experiment that can be performed in your kitchen at home shows how electric charge affects fluid dynamics.
