Add visualization of electric fields #123

Open selenium2106 opened 2 months ago

selenium2106 commented 2 months ago

Is there a way to add to the survey graph so that we can see how the electrical charges are distributed within the storm clouds? As well as the way to measure that electricity in kilovolts per meter with weather stations. Note: please increase the lightning generation rate as it is quite low, especially in small simulations.

No, because electric fields arent simulated. The lightning just spawns randomly, with the chance depending on the precipitation formation rate. I will soon add a lightning spwan chance setting. Maybe in the future I could try to simulate the complex nature of electic fields in thunderstorms.
