Scientific paper

The volumetric generation rate of secondary electrons, produced by cosmic radiation in the Earth’s atmosphere and able to accelerate in a thundercloud electric field, has been calculated as a function of height above sea level. It is recommended to use the obtained function as a source when modeling atmospheric breakdown in thunderstorm fields with the participation of relativistic runaway electron avalanches. It has been indicated that ionization of the atmosphere by a cosmic particle with an energy of 1016 eV cannot initiate lightning.
