The present study shows that space charge formation at ground level above a wet ground surface can be related to high wind speeds and evaporation from the ground. This is the opposite of the conditions for the electrode effect above a dry ground surface, which leads to low space charge density values for growing turbulence. A possible mechanism for the electrification can be drifting particles from the ground surface and a small rate of ion attachment at the ground surface. The thermochemical process which is dependent on the temperature gradients in the different states of water can also be involved in the mechanism. Temperature gradients appear, among others, in the evaporation from the ground surface. Low temperatures seem to favor the charging process.
